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.
