Had to work for it...

Been working for three straight weeks (apart from one Sunday when the weather was crap), and viewing all the local mackerel reports on here with equal amounts of disgust and envy while not being able to do anything about it, until finally we got out behind GI this morning and got onto our first metro mackie...took ten miles of trolling, along with four different depths and five lure changes, but we did it!

Mate up in Jurien got seven today, so I think we'll go up there next weekend!
