[jon]

I went today mackies were thick at boat rock but heaps of sharks

[straddiebrad]

got to the rock around 7am with a few livies on board ,i couldnt get one to the boat the first 15 hits either mist the mark or got sharked,got 4 nice snapper in the boat and with 2 livies left i sent one out it lasted all of 2mins got sharked,there where so many spanish around with the baits lasting only a few mins before getting hit,i had the last livie out and it got smashed and after a 3-4 min fight i had boated the first spanish,left the rock at 9.30 so was a pretty good morning sesh going out again tomorrow.brad

Nice haul mate you did well, I struggled today I ended up getting my bag of snapper  just after you left and some Mack tuna for next trips bait but couldn’t convert a Spanish for the life of me. It’s a pitty they didn’t fire like the last two days

Yeah I’m regretting trolling hexies for the first hour or so I should have gone straight to the livie grounds. was that you that followed me over the bar when it was still dark Around five ish?

[kmcrosby78]

Nice work Brad, good haul there. Did the bigger snapper bust you/reef you or did you lose them to sharks?
