As ive had a bit of time off I took a few mates out on there first fishing trip as they are from sydney and are not experianced ,First was geoff on the tuesday (the dates on the camera are wrong)we decided to troll and find some ground not long had the lines been in the water and he was onto his first mackie about 10 -12 kgs ,needless to say when we landed this mackie ,there was a smile from ear to ear, not bad for his first fish in exmouth.

then it was my turn and we landed the next, challenging as i had to fight and give instructions to geoff so he could clear the boat but he did a great job.

Next it was chris day out on friday ,This was the best day it took a little longer to raise a mackie but chris was on his first but unfotunatly it was under size at 850 cm and he realsed fine ,chris was disapointed in this as tihs is the biggest fish he had ever caught.We had the lines out again and just as i finished setting them one started to spool of at an alarming rate i got onto the rod and 20min later i had a fish  next to the boat a good mackie approx 30kg+ , but unfortunatly with on final burst of energy he dove under the boat before chris could gaff him and hit the motor which cut the line and he with my lure was gone .totaly destroyed i reset the lines and of we went again my disapointment changed when the rods started to spool off again and soon we had chris second mackie aboard about 12-15kgs and the photo shoot started so he could send to his brothers over east .once again the smile was from ear to ear for his first trip out .

The day produced another two mackies which we released as i had some good ones on board .

Now the problems start as the to boys are living together and are fighting it out now to see who can get the biggest fish so both a pestering me to go out again .not bad problem to have if this is  the only problem ive got as to who to take out fishing in exmouth.
