Mackerel for tea

Had a run out with mate Steve chasing mackerel. Steve’s been playing with Paravanes and wow they certainly work on mackerel. Steve uses them on a hand line and it’s a fairly easy way of trolling.
We followed the birds and pulled in 7 or so and brought some home for tea. Spotties and schoolies and a few broad bar in the mix but although the broadies were chopping the baitfish we couldn’t entice them. All in all a great morning out. Conditions were gorgeous out there. Hungry for the next trip.Attachment 42449

Very nice mate

Dun good mate

Bloody yum.

If this wind drops out I will go have a shot at them soon....my mouth is near watering thanks Paulo.

And the rain, I was going to head out in the morning but still forecasting showers in the morning. Showers and crossing a bar in poor light is not something I'll undertake.

So I slept in and woke up late to a beautiful day. I should have stuck to my Golden Rule that 95% of the time the weather will be the opposite when I want to go fishing.
In the end I'd totally forgotten I had a skin check appt and I do have a suspect spot.

Had some spotties for dinner last night. Enjoy.

Rub it in. As mentioned I lost 2 Spaniards, didn't use wire, probably should and the only fish I thought would be keepers were sharked. Probably won't go fishing now till after Christmas as have some unscheduled surgery due and with os visitors for Christmas I have lots of chores to do first.
