Sunday Session
Submitted by Adrian Z on Tue, 2013-03-19 12:45
Hi guys,
I'm a new member and new to WA and have thus far been utterly impressed by the Standard of fishing in the Perth Metro area having come from Melbourne.
Took the boat out on Sunday for a troll behind the inshore reefs trolling a couple of Rapala XRAP Mag 10's and managed to snag my first ever Spaniard.
Fish took off on a blistering first run and after a fifteen minute fight had him on board.
Also saw heaps of fish slashing the surface and a few schools of small Tuna hitting bait on the surface.
Hope to get out soon and get onto another one.

Yeah it was a bit of a shock
Yeah it was a bit of a shock when we first saw it as we were expecting it to be a stripey cause we saw a few swimming around.
We saw another boat out trolling the same area and he had a similar sized one on board too.
Can't wait to get back out and have another crack

Yeah there was a bit of bait
Yeah there was a bit of bait around sounder lit up at times with big schools mostly between 5-10 metres deep. When I cleaned the mac noted he had a fresh yakka in his stomach about 10-15 cm long. Also we tried to stay as close to the reef drop off as we could as that's where we marked up the bait balls and got the strike.

Cheers
Havent tried that shallow, gave it a go yesterday morning to no avail except for getting smoked and reefed by something rather large!
