20.69kg Metro Spanish Mackerel
Submitted by Mick C on Mon, 2024-07-01 19:29
Headed out of Hillarys with Tony for an evening try yesterday. Not long after we anchored up his floating scalie was inhaled, and the below images show the result. Was good to see it go past 20kg on the certified scales - 130cm long with a 65cm maximum girth. It was a relatively long fight on the snapper gear, and a happy boat when landed.

Headed out myself on Sunday to do a bit of lure testing and a quick flick for a feed of dhufish, water quality in 12mtrs was absolutely terrible and cold north of Mindarie so great going to catch a rippn spanish.
