First Metro Makie and he was a Horse! (PE-3)
I was taking the mrs for a romantic little trip to rotto, when i decided to throw a few hard bodies off the back. It was blowing too hard for a bottom bounce, so i thought i'd do the rightie and swing around West End on the way to Geordies. I hadn't had the X-rap in the water for ten minutes when my reel started screaming zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, my first thought was I'd hooked a craypot, then i noticed the rod was thrashing about wildly. I quickly put the boat in neutral and grabbed the rod holding on for dear life. The mrs was a good sport and reeled in all the other lines.
I can't remember how long it took to land because it all happened too fast, all I know is that he really didnt like being anywhere near the boat. Once again the mrs was a star and nailed him under wing with the gaff, he measured just shy of 160cm. I probably should have trolled over the same ground a few more times, but I was so stoked with just the one. I retired to Geordie's to fillet the beast and crank up the babyQ........giddy up!

Great fish mate - well done
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.

Definately a top effort!!
And a nice mackerel as well.
I don't know if I would be bothering going mackerel fishing for the day.
I reckon I could think of better things to pass the time! Haha
