Landbased Spanish Mackerel at Amity Pt

[Daryl McPhee]

My son spent some time fishing over at Amity Point without me. 

He wanted to target pelagics landbased and he certainly produced the goods. He was targeting bonito on small metals next to the boat ramp. He was  doing okay when a ripper of a Spanish mackerel grabbed the small lure. He wasn't fishing with wire and managed to hook it squarely in the mouth. He also didn't have a gaff. There was a big crowd of onlookers watching him land the fish and several boats returning back to the ramp with donuts. It could be a long time before he gets a bigger one landbased.

Unfortunately no bonus points. He got it on his little Saragosa.

Great land based fish Max  , looks like you suffered a bit of line burn

Hope it didn’t nip you when you were removing that slug.
