Submitted by Jorie on Wed, 2013-02-13 18:47
went to a beach just out off bunbury chasing our first LB mackeral. we kayaked baits out 200-250 which was a big blue mackeral bait on a 4 hook gang of 9/0. with a big pink skirt. waited about an hour got our first run bollon snapped off and i struck hooks in good. past it to mate seems it was his rod. took about half our to bring in... was released afer few quick pics. was a first capsure for my mate he was over the moon.... enjoy
