:) Did a morning run out of Arrawarra for an assault on the spotted mackerel. We were anchored after a five minute run out of the bay when the Southerly hit with up to 22 knots but the fishy conditions were right so we battled on. It was a very hectic two hours as every slimy mackerel we could catch was a guaranteed hit. :)
First run was only after a couple of minutes with a yakka as live bait but after a short strong tussle I pulled the hooks.:(
Then the slimies started coming on board and all hell broke loose as every one we dropped in the drink was quickly slammed by a spotty, Phil was quickly initiated into the hungry quick runs that the spotted mackerel give.;D He also had fun learning how to gaff :)
We managed to get one Yellow Fin at 12.5kg and four spotties all above 5kg (on the AF lie detector scales) in two hours before leaving them on the bight, Phil had an appointment to go the footy up in Brisvagas.::)
A great mornings fishing and home in time for bacon and eggs breakfast:P
Cheers Murf
