went out for a quick troll before the southly change came through arrived at outer rock around seven, one hour before high tide was pretty quite so went into middle rock for a look the port reel went off with jimmy setting it to strike a quick fight and a few jumps saw a 6kg queenie along side set out the baits again and did a few more laps but no action was forth coming decided to run back out to outer while leaving the baits out just past the half way and the port reel takes off this time with that high speed scream that tells you it's a mackie usual fight couple of long runs then turn and run back to the boat do a few laps and have another shot at heading for NZ get him upto the side of the boat gaff shot and pull him over the side not bad went 21kg.
Decided to stay out wide of the rock scored another two hits first one had the hooks just fall out as we had him come along side of the boat second one bit straight through the wire we use to join the hooks rather than ganging them(may have to rethink that setup)ran out of time as had to be back in the mouth of the boyne before we ran out of water but it's looking good for the start of the season.
