Gday Fellas,
Well we went mack huntin this morning.I was full of enthusiasm with all the info passed on to me by u guys.
Started wit a simple rig .gar with a tu tu and a large lure the fishin shop said was dangerous to macks.
The others had various rigs including the local spinner bait set ups.and a large bonito full of hooks.
Went about 2km.seen a few birds workin etc no hits..
Then some galah in a nice shiny boat decides to cut across our stern with the end result of 3 rods screaming their guts out and knives flashing as they were cut off.
If anyone knows the owner/driver of a ship called " RACHAEL" could you ask him to return our gear and about 350 metres of braid.It would be good if someone could give him a few tips on driving behind boats that are obviously trolling.........
Back to plan B and re rigged the lines travelling down to Sunshine way.Seen a huge flock of birds and trolled beside them,thru them and over them with no results.
On the return trip we got 1 hit and landed a nice Spaniard about 12kg.
Im not sure 6 hours of trolling is my cup of tea but ill give it a few more goes before i throw the hands in the air.Maybee if it was on my line i would have been more excited..at least i got to gaff him.
Thanx to all those who offered advise it was much appreciated
). The longest ones aren't real big and he also made smaller ones.
