Return Of The Mack

Absolutely hate the song, but the Mackerel were in the bay this evening. Had a quick hours blast after a busy days work, enjoy the last of the days sunshine. Using the Branzino Urban Side Custom, paired with a Certate 2508R loaded up with Sunline Castaway 0.8PE (12lb).

Started out at the turn of the pushing tide, fishing an OSP DoLive 4.5" Crawler mounted on a 7g Ecogear Skip in the Shade jig head. Long cast out, couple of lifts, and started to get takes on the drop, resulting in the first fish landed.


Switched over to the hard plastics, and went with a DUO Bay Ruf SV-70. Ripping it up, making it vibrate, letting it fall back down, soon found the Mackies again as they moved around the bay. As the tide pushed in, switched up to a DUO Press Bait Kamuy, a supreme lure for searching the water column, and capable of doing so at extreme distance! The fish were loving the lure, and it accounted for a good handful over the hour, some coming in at a decent size, really motoring in the shallows as they were played in towards my rocky perch. Great fun short session and a good way to end the day.
