speared

Sun, 2008-08-31 20:02

The fish was speared and I have been chasing one for a fair while now.

Finally managed to get one but I missed one this size just before and then also missed a shot on a wahoo before finally hitting the target

how do you find them, do you

how do you find them, do you just sound around till a school shows up and jump in, or just swim around till one cruizes past.

Was in a good area for a start with a heap of baitfish around, so cruised around the bait with a bit of burley in the water and eventually they showed up.

Teeth

Sun, 2008-08-31 20:20

Nice work Gully, how did you deal with its teeth when you drew it alongside you?

Braver man than me swimming around bait schools with berley in open water.

Are the macks inquisitive or was it hard to get one within range?

Think they were further away than I initially thought with the clear water. Think that is why I missed the first one and the wahoo so got closer for that one and even that just hit the mark. They are pretty inquisitive though and come by to check you out

Was pretty tired by the time I got it beside me so wasnt that hard to handle, Wouldnt bring one next to me still fresh though
