trolling for metro Macs - this time of the year?
Submitted by rigpig on Wed, 2016-01-06 15:04
Interested in going for a troll this weekend to see if any maccies are around. I'm looking to head out to the FFB from Rokko and am wondering if its worth having a crack or am I too early?
I haven't seen any posts even though it only early into January.
Any info is appreciated. Cheers.

Sharkies
We've been getting shark makkies on some inshore reefs out from Two Rocks so it may be worth giving it a go.

Blokes at Perth Scuba said they saw some Spaniards at Roe Reef, north of Rotto, and a two weeks back whilst a bloke was abusing me for asking him to move forward at Leeuwin, he told me he had a Spaniard. They were in a small boat so couldn't have gone too far.
