Couple Metro Macks
Submitted by beau on Tue, 2018-04-03 14:16
Managed to tick off a few metro macks this season, highlight of them all a landbased capture that came in at a new PB, 1370mm long, guessing around the 15-16kg mark. We were seeing huge numbers around mid Feb, just really hard to get a bite as they were feeding on micro sized bait. We called the landbased fish for a tailor or salmon initially before it chucked a U-turn and took off.
Reports seemed fairly quiet this year compared to past seasons, maybe people were just keeping things close to their chests, who knows.
How did everyone else fair?

Yeah Kirky was some good
Yeah Kirky was some good weight at the other end, great tussle on pe2. I called it midway through the fight it was most likely jagged, while my mate was trying to convince me it was a biggg mack!
