METRO MACKIE TO BREAK IN THE NEW BOAT!
Hi there, hit the water this morning at Hillarys at 0630. Took the short trip down to scarbs, for a few whiting for tea.Very quiet on the squid scene, water was very murky.
Strong eastly blowing and i got to try my new drift anchor i got from oceanside tackle, while difting over broken ground at hale rd reef. I tell you now if you havnt got one..do yourself a favour and get one..easy to set , very easy to retreive and slows ya boat down bigtime. Anyway after a few drifts for only wrasse and one just undersize pink snapper..it was time to head out a bit.
Went over to the shallows around rotto, to try for some kgs..but it wasnt our luck today. Bored of no bites, i then declared to the wifey its time for some trawling. We set up our rods and then started trawling..the mrs hadnt done any before and as i was about to start telling her what the go is i hear zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz coming from my rod....mmm first reaction was i have got a snag, as we had only just started. But after a few cranks of the reel..all the tell tale signs of a mackie were there.
After 5 mins i had the fish along side the boat, and said to the mrs..grab the gaff..she then replied "how do i use it" im not sure what i said, but im sure it sounded something like "you stick it in the F&*(*ng fish" with one swipe Claire nailed the catch and we had pulled off a 91.5cm metro mackie! With blood thru the new boat..i am now happy she is broken in.

Top stuff Wade
That's a great start to life with your new boat. Can I suggest you get the Mrs out the backyard practising her gaff work (Lol).

Lol That would be good to practice on - a mad dog is a bit
like a mackie when it comes to the boat.
