First Metro Mack
Hey Crew,
I went out this morning with my brother and my friend. After I got them on there first sharks, I now wanted to get them and myself on the first metro mack. So I went to buy some lures yesterday, I bought one cheapy one medium and one better one. I set up the rods and started trolling about 6.15 this mornig.
The first hit was just 20 minutes in, after a lil fight a nice size tuna was landed
On the cheapy!
Then we kept on trolling along 3 mile but there was lots of weed and we moved a bit deeper. With the weed problem solved we trolled in the 20 -25 meters up and down the coast. And I never had some many fish showing on my sounder. We came across some hughe schools of herring and sardines ( I guess ). And at 11.00am the next run came and after a litle longer fight my first metro mack was in the boat
And again the cheapy!
My brother was over the moon and had an awesome trip! And next week he goes back to the trout fishing in Germany.......
After that we keept going for another hour or so but no more pick ups!
We were back at hillarys at 12.15 and had an awesome start to the day!!!!!
Thursday we will be out again!!!!
Cheers Seb

Halco
I bought a Halco for 16, and a asian brand for 27 and a Rapala for 36. And the Halco did the trick!

Congrats on our first metro mac. A good feeling I'm sure. I haven't ticked that box just yet.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Nice one - still yet to crack
Nice one - still yet to crack the metro makkie code myself. This year!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
