the whiting were pretty hard work, with only one or two coming from each drift....and the area was crawling with macs...akin to what others have said with you being able to sight the fish swimming around the boat....this one fell to a pillie floating under a cork ;D

Great feed there. We were in an orange Oceaneer that we have just finished rebuilding. Did not see you out there. Heaps of macs just not enough takers

Cheers

the whiting bit all day, but as usual the best bite was as the tide turns to run out...the mackeral was caught on the 4th drift of the morning, so after dropping the pots it wouldve been around 8.30....i dropped a mack the 2 previous drifts as well

No that a Doggy/Schoolie mackerel there and to me doesn't look long enough to for a legal spanish mac 75cm is size limt and bag limit of 3 and the pectoral fin has to removed from the fish

Good report there Two dogs yeah the whiting there are hard to catch some days
good to see mackeral still around when my lower back gets better I be heading over that way

hi all,
top feed there. were the crabs full. i ended up over there sunday about 10am looking for mackies with another fisher (boat,red tiller ).we kept getting bitten off with slugs and pulling spoons.i ended up drifting out pillies.got 3 good doggies and 1 spottie 960mm long. there were some BIG mackies hammering the bait fish that were only about 1/2 inch long.possibly spanish as i dont think spots grow that big.they were all round my boat but would not touch anything i threw at them. will try again on thursday. might try some small white bait drifted out to see if that works. report later.
