Quick report....

#1 Post by mackfish »

People:me

Duration:2-3 hours

Tide:lowest of low

Weather:warm and calm

Bait:fresh mack

Rigs:3/0 pulleys






Report:hit the usual spot to see what was happening... Got into a ray straight from the off, only a small male. About 20 mins later and a big bend in the rod and what looked and felt like a PB surfaced, lost it as I was handlining it up the pier, hook bent out!
About 10 mins after this, hooked up again and got a nice female..I must invest in a set of scales!!..
After this the tide was rushing in at an almighty rate and it was a losing battle tryin to stay in contact with the bottom!..so packed up and went home.

Sorry about the first photo, a lot of sun in shot!!
