Gaday all thought id poke the head out early and try for a mackeral or something.
trolled from the seaway to mermaid reef for no fish. tried skirts and minnows, no luck though id turn around and head north, came across a few macktuna scored 3 on 20gr raider. between 50-55cm and around the 2 kg mark.when i got to the seaway it was still early about 8:30am swell was cleaning up a bit so further north i go .
i heard a lot about Couran Cove so though id give it a go. birds everywhere and boats too. game boats to tinnies. the schools of tuna everywhere Long tails with a few macktuna thrown in for good measure the long tails were fussy hooked 1 smoked me good i was half way down the spool before the lure let go. Damb.
got 2 more macks here 45-50cm and just under the 2kg mark.
met a fellow Ausfisher up here today too Ian White.
not to shore how he did, but i got 5 for the day .
would of liked to have got the LT but i had fun anyway.
it seemed that no one had any mackeral today .
well apart from Lucky phill.
3 days more to fish yet.
