Went for a run weekend before last, late start (midday) due to a very sore head from a function the night before. The weather was pretty bad, with squalls and winds around 20knots. Anyway we caught plenty of small mackerel in the protected bays of the close in Islands. Just before leaving I thought I would have a couple of chucks across a shallow bommie. Second cast this GT climbs on....interesting it's the first I have seen leap clear of the water on the strike, which was a good show for the other guys on board.
Quick photo, back in the drink and headed home....Geez I look bad, must have been the red wine.
It seems most of my GT fishing is at the end of everyone else's fishing and I only catch 1 fish and head off...might be a good idea because the 1 time I went back for seconds it nearly killed me!
I am keeping up a pretty good strike rate though, normally raise a GT within 10 or 15 casts, but haven't put any concerted effort in yet.
