First Mack
Been chasing these for the last couple of weeks.. its the end of the season but a few reports still around, thought id hedge my bets and go to jurien for some warmer water yesterday. water temps were 24.2 up there
booze bus and dept of fisheries picking up people on the way back, lucky i was a good boy even though my deckies were well and truly into early celebrations.. fisheries boys said i did well as it was the only mack hed seen all weekend. one guy had a massive dhu on the cleaning tables, would have been well over 20kgs
15 minutes in, bang.. not even on one of my new trolling rigs.. Doh.. but the Opus Bull loaded with 50 pound braid and Shimano Terez heavy spin rod muscled the mack on board within a minute
stoked.. now its time to chase some winter demersals.. She was a meter 9
gorgeous day, the only fish we caught all day. well a heap of wrasse.. but we didnt do any bottom bouncing till after lunch.. we knew we wouldnt have much luck but prime time was reserved for the daddy mack we were all after

Fisheries were probably
Fisheries were probably 15min south of jurien, pulling people over in a truck/rest stop. Well cops were pulling em in to brethalise and fisheries were nabbing boats on the way out
Youd thnk they would do better at the boat ramp.. Maybe looking for possession limits after a 4 day weekend rather than catch and size..
