Had a banana for breakfast and lost 5 lures to mackeral.(broome report)

 so went out for  fish yesterday just myself and the dog. Had a mate that had been getting a few mackeral around the 120cm mark inclose to cable beach so i thought i would give it crack myself. Just finally had my sounder installed and want to find some more ground.

 

landed 5 stripey sea perch

2 darktail snapper

 

lost 5 hard body lures 3 jigs

Had 2 mackeral boatside in but forgot to bring my gaff and ended up clipping the leader as i had the tail in my hand.

 

Just a unlucky day i had 60lb leader and then clip on wire.

A swivel broke on me

Bitten off 4 times.

 

Its the craziest solo session ive had and also the unluckiest.

13m i hooked most the fish.

 What i learnt. 

Bring more wire for next time

Pelagic action is hot 3 days after neaps

Receding tides is good because all the bait cant hide in the shallows.

Bring a gaff.

 

 

It was awesome marking mackeral on the sounder and then having the rod go off.

Found heaps of ground and only used 7 litres of fuel.

 

Fished the new ground today and landed 3 stripey seaperch, 2 bluebone and a school mackeral.

 

You cant win them all but i wont be having banana for breakfast before i go fishing again.
