Queen mackerel at the Block

Queen mackerel at the Block

Blasting out through the mouth, relieved I am not driving this time
The loooong run out through the shorebreak, the mid break and then the backline, flying all the way.
Not so big but this Queen mackerel at the Block put on a good show on ultra light tackle

We finally caught a queen mackerel at the Block after the divers from last weeks competition reported seeing a few around Hibberdene. It was chock full of red eye sardines aswell – I am surprised he even took notice of the tiny Strike Pro lure but he did, putting on a helluva show on the estuary tackle. When the fish are so shy like this, fishing ultra light is a good way to increase your fun quotient.

And a few shots of the pre launch and post launch moments…
