Out again at first light, I thought it would be a bit busier because it was Saturday, but nope.
Managed to grab an early one around 7am, it was about 6-8lber, so I released it thinking I’d get a bigger one …………. So I played that waiting game and I did get a bigger one, only by a few cm’s, but I had to wait until 1:00 for my next bite. I saw a few other fish being caught, but not sure of the size do to the netting being in a position that I couldn’t see. Mine was 65cm, wild red Spring, 66’ on the rigger with bait. Both fish came on the same side and 66’ on the rigger.
Speaking of games, a couple of things happened today, first off, why do people motor into the group off Macaulay, and then to proceed to to set up, paying little or no attention to boats that are already in a tack or they have left another person in charge, who clearly doesn’t know how to drive and are cutting people off. How hard is it to set-up on the fringe and work your way into the group? Secondly why does a sailboat that is under power, try to split the fishing boats at Macaulay? Happened today with me, about a 35 footer tried going threw the group, I was maintaining my tack, then out of nowhere, tries cutting through and honestly misses the back of my boat by no more 6’. I am a calm guy, but I did have a few choice words for them today, I know they heard, because all 4 of them on the boat were only a few feet away.
