Headed off the Goldie on Wednesday with my son to hopefully chase mackerel for the first time on my boat.
Got to Mermaid at about 6am and their was only 2 other boats their. We could see they were catching spotties but we couldn't hook up . We had 3 strikes on bait but no luck.
We decided to go for a trawl and after about 10min and losing 2, picked up the spanish (7kg). My first ever so I was stoked.
We saw some birds working tightly so went for a look. It was a ball of bait!! Got the slugs on and it was on!!! One after the other.We caught about 12(spotties), kept 4, and one tuna for bait on a later day.
We lost all our slugs and they would not take anything else. We were satisfied so we headed back to the seaway.
What a day, had a ball..
