Metro Spaniards......back to back!
After having a ball lately on driftbaiting for bottom species i thought i'd mix it up and target some pelagic Metro Spaniards. Thursdays fine & hot weather being half a chance i loaded the boat and had a mate Carl as company. We set off to covered plenty of water and after a few weed patches giving me the craps i kept on persisting. The outcome for that day was two spaniards coming onboard my boat and the Halco 190XDD and 190DD doing the job.
Here's my Metro Spaniard!
Here's Carls fish!
*** So after the success on Thursday i made a plan to go out again Friday but this was a solo trip. I was wondering if i could do it back to back with Metro Spaniards and covered similar water again for zip. With persistance i kept trolling and tried a few different spots and got into another two fish which made the day ***
Here's the back to back pair, the pic was taken when i got back to my shop!

Thanks fella's!
Feral, i use single strand 88lb Superflex game S/S wire.
Pete, had the new chair & pedestal last only a few trips before seperating from the floor. It needs less big fella deckies :) and/or a grab rail to reduce forward/aft motion. Gonna replacce the carpet first as it's worn out then i'll replace the passenger set-up.
Cheers
