Queen mackerel at the Block

Queen mackerel at the Block

Captain Skomolo
The loooong run out through the shorebreak, the mid break and then the backline, flying all the way.
A mackerel rigged with a MYDO Baitswimmer, which allows for much higher trolling speeds and makes the fish swim like it's alive.

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…
