first metro mackie for the season

with an early start on the cards myself and forum member nelly decided to have another crack at some metro pelajics on surface again. after a short trip we arrived at the spots I have been finding the amberjack and tuna in the previouse weeks . we were greeted with little light , sw chop and somewhat foggy conditions. after looking around for no more than 10 mins a school popped up right infront of us and neil and i launched a s.s.m and the trusty monsoon breaker stickbaits straight into the school with an immediate explosive hookup's , unfortunately for neil dropped his almost straight up loosing stickbait and all and mine was hooked up still strong and solid.. after a short battle and some blistering runs the fish took shape and up came my first surface Mackie for the season (granted its a sharkie and not a spaniard but atleast it was solid one at that)!
once again it was the s.s.m and zipbait monsoon breakers doing damage (granted we didn't use any others)
cheers brenz

Whats a S.S.M ??

Is that a 30g Monsoon Breaker ? I find the lure a bit small for mackie unless I use wire....chances are mackie will miss the lure and cut my leader...

Nonetheless good effort, nothing beats surface action on stickbait, what more in metro area!
