Just got back from macksville spent afew days there Went out Monday but didn’t turn a reel water was real green and dirty seen afew tuna schools busting and seen a big 25-30kg mackrel smashing a school of bait and also had a little hammerhead try take a yakka from our bait jig which was a first.
tuesday was a completely different day water was a lot cleaner and blue First hit was from a tuna school threw a big metal and it got smashed but sadly pulled the hooks on what we think was a long tail then about 15mins later my rod which was trolling a live pike got smashed then about 15mins later had the big Spanish mackerel in the boat went about 140cm 18-20kg didn’t measure or weigh. Then continue trolling and had 3 spotted mackerel in the boat within next 25mins biggest went 90cm didn’t measure others then after that we had a hit on another pike getting trolled which we suspect was a 25-30kg mackerel which bite thru the wire leader then 10mins later we got hit again this time we got the fish which was the smaller Spanish mackerel going about 135 and 15-17kg after this we decided to go see if we could find some other species pulled up to some fish traps and marked afew fish dropped a jig and hooked a king on the first drop sadly I got it right to the boat and then I got the reel clogged and the braid snapped roughly 80-90cm king had 2 more hooks up and lost both then went quite so moved and found more traps and that’s were we picked up the trag all except one on cut baits and one on a jig.
