yes - that Lord's name is unflattering to say the least!!  :D

Brandon,

You aim low and I'll be right in there with you...I promise!

Yep....I can't seem to shake the donkey moniker.

I'd rather be called donkey than pretzel....OR Lord Farquar for that matter  ;D
If it swims; I want to catch it!

Damien,

We were trolling a mixture of lures, didn't really go there with mackerel trolling in mind. We had a few X-Raps until they got belted too much and wouldn't swim anymore. Then we started trolling Jai stickbaits and FCL Labo Squid Pencils to good effect. Lost a few from having wire bitten through or bitten above the wire unfortunately, but it's all part of the fun.
