Landbased Metro Mack and Rigs

Still haven't ticked this off the list but I've got a good feeling about this year.  Just after some tips on preferred times and tides I should be targeting these off the rocks (Freo/Coogee)

Going to have a go at this the next few mornings (Super long weekend!!)

 I'm running 500 meters of 50lb braid with a 200 meter top shot of mono, upgraded my leader and wire this year because we've been seeing a lot of big tigers and bulls (had a real big tiger take a skipping gar a few weeks ago) so if your ballooning on air metro be prepared for sharks.
