Couple of Metro Macks
Myself and another fishwrecked member Silly hit the water pretty early on sunday to chase a few spaniards
Quite a bit of action early on with a decent 7kg fish landed within the first hour plus lost another hooter right next to the boat when the fish saw the boat & really took off in the other direction pulling free of the lure.
It was quite weedy out there, esspecially in the current lines which was frustrating at times but paid off when were lucky enough to pick up another 10kg macky plus a decent maybe 5kg Striped which actually tasted good marinaded in soy & lemon then seared on the bbq. I'd keep another one any day. Tried some for sashimi but it tasted too fishy to eat raw.
we believe the first one was a narrow banded mack as the markings suggested, plus the skin was quite rough compared to the second one.
here's a few pics

Good onya fellas, yep the first one is definitely a Broady and in the upper echelon of their growth potential too, 7 kilos is a good one, I wouldn't have thought they'd be real common in the metro area
