Wagoe Pics
Its been a year since our last trip to Wagoe, the last time we went the swells and wind direction wasnt doing us any favours. We were keen to give it another go as the weather report was looking good with nice eastly winds blowing. This was also going to be our first time ballooning so anticipation was high.
Day 1: When we arrived we headed straight down to the reef, the fishing was slow.. we caught a couple of bream and a couple of skippy to 1kg, then we headed down to the beach area to settle for the night and to try and catch the elusive mulloway. We had a couple of false alarms during the night with a couple of small sting rays and a four foot reef shark.
Day 2: We woke up to find that we had nice eastly winds blowing, the winds were due to change directions by noon so we got straight into ballooning. A couple of hours went by with still no hits... As the ballooning rig was about 400m off shore I decided to wind the bait back in. After a couple of winds... my reel came to life with a quick screeming run. After a quick 10-15 min fight the mackie was gaffed.
Pretty stoked with the catch as its my first mackie.
Here are a couple of pictures we took... Mackie was aprox 19-21kg quite a fat fish...
Cheers Justin

Wagoe
Great pics, heard lots of fish caught over the weekend at Wagoe with the easterly allowing good ballooning conditions.

simmo ryan- Yeah didnt
simmo ryan- Yeah didnt measure it, but deffinately pushing the 60cm mark... put up a good fight.
Scere- The swells was pretty low, so that made fishing the reef a little bit easier, we got couple of bream and skippy of the reef.
Deffinately a great landbase location to fish...
Cheers for viewing

Nice!!
Top effort boys. You get some thumping black bream along that stretch when the swells down, worthwhile targeting on lighter gear and plastics.
