More Metro YFT and Macs
Had to work bloody hard today for our fish. The tuna were long gone from the spot we got them last week, the water had turned green and lots of week. Travelled another 35 km before we came across some likely looking water. Bait was very sparse but we found a few small patches.
Out with the lures and after an hour it was not looking good, and memories of August tuna were quickly fading. Then we got whacked with a double header, Tims comes up first and to our great surprise up popped a fat shark mackerel. August 9.....Perth Metro.......WHAAAAT!!!
Then my sharkie mac.
After a bit more travel we got smacked again, triple header this time. Langa and myself landed our YFT, only rats but will be delicious. Tim dropped his early.
Back in, and in quick time, another double header. This time I dropped one, Tim got his little barrel.
After dropping another YFT right at the boat, we had a quick jig, Tim getting a nice dhu and all of us getting a sambo/amberjack.
Fun day and the weirdness continues!

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

What ever you are doing John
you are doing it right. We saw some tuna activity out from Ocean Reef on Friday but we didn't have a troll. Is it unthinkable that there maybe a beakie or two chasing these fish around? Now there's a challenge.

Sharkies in August???
Now thats amazing. As for the YFT not as surprised as I am sure they are about. Most wouldnt bother to look and trawl. You might just be the spearhead off some effort.
Sharkies on the other hand??? Not common even if the water is warm.

Well done lads
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
