Winter Hillarys Mackies
Submitted by Superfish on Mon, 2017-07-10 08:42
Just watched the you tube video of FISH EAGLE wow he always gets on to the best fish and well done to Gail. We went out from Hillarys on Saturday and anchored up and berleyed in about 10 m of water caugt a small skippy and a nice Black Ass. Not long afterer we noticed some Mackies under the boat . Tried livies, Soft plastics, jigs, and fresh baited snelled hooks with no luck. Ended up hookling massive Ray on the live bait which resulted in much cursing from the skipper. The only thing we didnt try was pulling the anchor and trawling . Just wondering if any of you have hade the same happen and if you have any ideas what else i could do to hook a Mackie as i have never caught one.

We fished off OR Saturday
We fished off OR Saturday and had 3 sharp teeth bite throughs which I was putting down to sharkes as they were decent fish. I didn't think Macks were still around but reading on here this morning, I'm having second thoughts.
