went fishing at mooloolabar on the wednesday 4th june.bagged out on spotted mackeral.also got 1 good squire,one groper (i think) and a legal red throat emperor

mackeral were landed on slugs and reefies all on whole pillies with a 2 gang setup

2 of the mackeral were hooked withing one rotation of the handle.

all fish were landed on 6Lb spinning gear.

unfortunately i dont have the cable that links my phoen to the computer

i do have a pics on my phone so if someone wants them on the net i can send it to your phone and maybe you could post it up for me

(btw there we 2 of us in the boat,hense 5 mackeral each)

Looks like a good time was had. Well done.

Regarding the fish on the right hand side -

It's not the clearest pic, but I'd call what you thought was a groper a Maori cod. Could be wrong, but look it up. Hope this helps.

Cheers

Awesome mate well done.

Once again, great effort for 6lb.

And as Jimmy said, Maori cod are great eating! (Not to mention Snapper, Mackerel and Emperor).

They look more like School Macks. Tim and I got onto a few at Straddie, awesome fight. I got 1 on the drop and it swam straight towards me. I thought he'd cut me off but reeled up the slack and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. On 10lb it was great fun so 6 would have been twice as good.

Edit: Just saw, Rob already pointed it out they are doggies/schoolies. Is there a reason they are called doggies? Is it because they are the vermin Mackeral? It used to get me confused with Dogtooth Tuna when I was a wee lad. Learnt the differences between species now, even though I've only caught Slimies and Schoolies .
