Mack attack
Submitted by dd83wa on Thu, 2011-01-27 08:26
Got some good macks off SEQ on the weekend. Plenty around and got my fair share in quick time. No samller ones which is different as so far this year all we've seen are macks less than 10kg.
Also got buzzed by some HUGE fridge sized GT's on 3 differnet occasions as well as a decent sharks. Gt's were an amazing sight. Wish I had had my camera on me, they were just milling around me, I couldve poked them with my spear.
