Thick at Palm Beach.

[Spoon1337]

Went to Palm beach reef today, first time out there. The spotties were thick! Though they didn't seem to want to touch my wire, though I did end up getting one on wire. After a change to mono the action started happening, for me at least. Boated 4 all up for the morning and dropped about 4-5 due to running 40lb mono, but more then enough fish for me. Most boats were pulling them in, more then me I would say.

All caught just using a pilly on a single 8/0, either with or without a float. Water temp was around 25.

These are my first mackerel ever so I am definitely pleased with the result!

I read your post about going out through the bar and it looks like all those tips paid off for a great feed. Well done

what do you smoke yours with, any prep or just straight in, and on another note, why did that snappersbug bloke disagree with my picture, must be either a nob, or jealous???

Agree with Si, looking and scrolling through posts, especially with a phone it is so easy to hit the disagree button, I know I have on several occasions then gone back at a later date and seen them (and removed).

Nice fish Haines and Spoon.

cheers

I smoke my fish by soaking in a mix of water,1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup salt for an hour or so,you can vary this ratio to taste.I have a little kipper smoker and they work well.I think the dislike is big finger on a phone or tablet.If not he is jelous as he can't fish !

Great fish hainsofast,

I wasn't lucky enough to land a cobia, maybe next time though.

Wouldn't worry about the disagree by snappersbug. Unintentional most probably, I have done it once or twice.
