Good day on the water
Hi all, its been a while since I posted anything, mainly due to too much work and not enough play. Anyway, me and a mate got out early yesterday with the intensions of finding some good ground and hopefully get into some nice demersals. with both of us pretty new to fishing off perth we headed out to the 30m contour and sounded for some ground. found a patch that looked promising but after a couple of drifts and only 1 wrass thought we'd push on. the easterly had drop a litttle by now so with the aim to find some ground we decided to chuck a couple of lures out the back and hopefully get 1 of these metro mackies everyone has been chasing. no sooner had we taken off sitting on about 6 knots id just set my lure and flicked the bail arm over to here the best sound in the world. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. a massive first run and Ive called a macky straight away( although Ive never actually caught one before.) I was pretty pumped. my mate grabbed the wheel and we chased it for a bit. Finally some colour and the colour i wanted to see. A nice 110cm mackie which weighed in at 9.5kg was boat side. nice gaf shot by my mate and it was cheers and high fives all round. off we set again and about 10 min later zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of goes my drag again this time a 4.5kg long tail tuna. on the way back in my mate finally gets a hit and lands a stripe tuna then 5 min later I land another long tail.
All in all a great day on the water with awesome conditions, cant wait to get out there again and back into a bit of the same action. Im hooked on pelagic fishing now.
Still trying to catch fish!

Haha typical! With the amount
Haha typical! With the amount of hours I've put in for zero makkies, you snag one in moments.
Great work on the fish
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.
