People:my self,stephen and paul

Duration:5pm to 9pm

Tide:rising

Weather:actually very good god decided i wasnt to get wet as every rain shower missed me,,, some how

Bait:makeral

Rigs:tope traces

Results:tope makeral

Report:had 2 guys at me at work for ages to get out to fish for some tope,,, so decided to bring them out ,,,,,
found the macks hard to get once again,,, seems to be happening to me alot,,, any way 9 macks later we headed to tope mark, where we hit 3 nice tope,,,
This is where they the guys hit me with the strangest question ever,,,,
firstly can you eat tope?

i said yes but we usually throw em back and just photo them,,, so after this answer dissapointed em they asked

CAN WE JUST FISH FOR A FEW MACK INSTEAD?

Wow! Great tope :lol: well done.
What about weight- 50-55lbs?
It is not a matter of upper or lower class, but of being up a while and down a while...
