SBT's but no macks

Launched very early doors with uncle this morning for various reasons, firstly to beat the crowds and the heat and ultimately to troll up an early morning mack. No luck on the mack front but there was some good bait balls on the sounder so they hopefully wont be far away if the bait stays and the water warms a bit more. Another good sign was the lack of surface weed behind the three mile.

Heading back to Ocean Reef we came across a good school of SBT's giving some small bait a hammering. Managed to winkle one out on a 1oz leadhead but the rest had lockjaw. Finally cracked the code when we dropped down to 1/2oz leadheads. Good fun on the light gear.

Back home and in the pool by 10.

Happy Australia Day all!
