Sunday Spanish!

[Trent_Butler]

Not a bad start to the Spanish season with this beauty caught early Sunday morning. It was Craig's first mack and he now believes that he has mastered the art of Spanish Mackerel fishing and is going to hang up his boots! Smart arse.. #She took skip-bait rigged slimy with a pink skirt on 10kg. We also caught a nice spotty around 6kg as well.

" Using Mackmauler's official Global Positioning System - it was caught at Murphies....."

Cheers

Hi Trent

Nice spaniardo there. If you're up the coast way, we are having a Meet & Greet at the Kawana Pub next Friday (27th) and macks are sure to be a hot topic. See Big Mack's thread under "General - Important Notices". Cheers and a top notch macky you have scored there.

Guys - lovely fish. They are few and far between at the moment but they all seem to be big................Im still looking for four hooks and a blue & pink skirt if anyone catches a spaniard with jewelry - LOL.

We are all jealous!!

Hey TRENTO - Nice one :D

It's funny that we were just talking about you today. My mate Paul at work here is a BIG fan of Mat the Bat and he even has a copy of Mat's cook book. Apparently there is a great little story on the South Passage Bar incident - I can't wait to read it ;D ;D ;D

[Reefmaster]

G'day Trent
Well how big must Craig's head be right now the lucky bugger. :D 8-)
I reckon it was all the bling bling that Craig has hanging off his head that acted like a big teaser and brang that fish to the bait. ;) ;D

Well done boys sure is a monster Spanish. :o Can't beleive that's how he opens his first catch of a Spanish. ::) ::) 8-)

Gee i would be affraid to take him fishing for his first big Red. ;D

Regards Greg

[Ratman]

Great fish guys. What do you recon 30kegs??????

[Deelirious]

Trento,
Great to see you are at least getting close to other people catching fish if not yourself - it's easier some times to live life through those around us!!!!. Sorry I haven't caught up having a bub has kept me busy for my time off work.

All jokes aside a very nice fish, I woultn't mind one of those jumping into the old deelight.
Congrats

[FOOCKCHUCKER]

that is a absalote skunter of a spaniard well done son and what a way to pop your cherry could result in being thrown off the boat if you double up before the skipper though. well done boys great effort on 10 kg

been a few months since i've fished for spanish. nice fish, thanks for the pleasant reminder of a very special fish that inhabits our coastal areas. Big spanish seem to find a spot in the hearts of many younger, and 'older' fisherman, and a lot of those blokes hold many secrets that many are willing to share. Many older experienced blokes love tellin fishin stories, so if ya wanna listen to an ol' fella and enjoy his life experiences and learn as you down several hundred cuppas, start giving some time to our older and wiser fishing generation. A lifetime of knowledge to help those who are willing to listen.......and make a good friend while ya doin' it~!


Nothin like a spanish, especially the bigger, wiser, more alert fish that are not so easy to catch, and that are also very common in many unexpected areas! Fine tuned techniques, and tackle, artistic bait rigging, and the element of 'tricking' a great big whooa spanish is what tickles my heart! The 70 and 80 pound fish have a majestic side that lures me...........BRING ON THE WINTER IN CQ!!

Great Post Trent...........NICE PIC, NICE FISH, NICE SMILES, NICE EVERYTHING..................................CONGRA TS,

Ian,

We had a few hairy moments around the boat with this one as well, but she ended up having both 10/0's and the stinger treble all solidly in the jaw. Will have to catch up for a fish with you & your brother one day soon!

Macca,

Thanks for dredging up that old fairy tale again. How's the road works going around the corner? We have a big 9m C/Console in fabrication at the moment you should drop in and have a peek.

Eddie,

Passed you the other day with DEELIGHT on the back! Mate to tell you the honest truth, it was my rig, my rod & reel and I was on strike... but me being the the nice fellow I am I let Craig take the rod hoping that it was a Spanish. If I knew it was going to be that big, I may have been tempted to take the strike.

Greg,

Don't worry when things get a bit quiet trolling for billies, Robbo will definitely be put out just behind the prop wash! We usually hang a few lures off those ears to dry out before going back in the box. Yes Nicole is still going strong at BLA, mind you her staff account sees much more action these days.

Cheers

Trent
