Metro Gold Spot

Metro Gold Spot

Got this Beauty over the weekend, went 18 pounds, Water temp was sitting around 24. Also managed a nice Dhu and a good sized Baldy. Was a highlight of the year so far to get a northern species in metro waters. There were a few macks caught as well for those in the know.

Wow, that's a pretty interesting catch. Didn't think a northern trevally would that far south. You would have been pretty pumped after that though!!!
