2nd Week Metro Mack

Hey guys

 

me and my 3 mates battled the weather this morning going to rotto for some metro macks.

 

Left Hillarys marina at 6.20am and were south west of rotto by 7.  Put the gear in the water and within 10 mins and we were hooked up. Sammy85 pulled in a nice stripey tuna. It was absolutely bucketing down. we couldnt see rotto and we were 700m off shore.

 

 

The gear went back in the water and 20 mins later we were on again. I grabbed my new tyrnos reel which hadnt seen a fish yet. this fih was giving it some runs. within a couple of mins we had it up. and there it was, 2 saturday mornings in a row - metro mack.

we then decided to have a bottom bash. Sammy85 hooked a possible sambo and got busted, Matt was fighting the skippy. i hooked by best king george. was the biggest i have seen. few more skippy and a norwester.

Was a quick 30kn ride home thru the chop

 

Turned out to be ok weather. jut one major shower. was a good day on the water

Good day out there fellas, definately worth the effort. The Skippy go hard on light gear, one of my faves to catch.
