First ever mackie

hey there guys and girls

After a long days fishing out near the west end of rotto and trying to chase down these furious an fast fish  for no result on sunday we manager to hook up to a yellow fin tuna and a dolly but we lost both fish :( but hey u get that.

So on tuesday i manage to sweet talk the missus into letting me go out to try and get myself a fish or two. So i headed out to mindarie and got to the ramp at 2pm an was due back at the ramp by 6pm. I waited for my deckie to rock up an then we were on our way. When we got out there boats were scattered all over the place so we found a couple of nice bait schools deep so we trolled around that area an it didnt take long to get a hit but we dropped it bugger............... so we changed lures an i had to borrow one from my deckie (one that he had trolled with in other trips that never got a hit so) i put it on and out it went i think it only took five minutes for the lure to get smashed as all i could do was watch the line dissapear fron my spool. What a rush........

We got back to the ramp with our two fish each at 4.45pm after an awesome afternoon fishing.

Trolling for macks in tinnies should be on every fisherman's bucket list IMO. Nothing like being real close to the action.

Congrats BB.
