Pb snapper.
Submitted by Sea goat on Mon, 2024-01-29 13:13
Headed out last weeken for a fish within the 3 mile for some snapper. Interestingly, we got about 10 minutes out of the marina, and noticed a splash just ahead. Stopped the boat, and out of nowhere a bloody Spanish mack jumps straight out of the water. Was only a few meters from the bow of the boat and jumped as high as the roof! Quickly whacked out an unweighted mulie, and within a minute it started screaming! was ecstatic thinking I had my first metro mack, but also wondering why it hadn't bitten through my 40lb trace. Got it to the boat and realised it was a big snap lol.
went 93cm, pretty stoked with that!
unfortunately couldn't find the Mack.
ps. Please ignore the fishing pants!

I'll hopefully report back on mono trace for Macks..... I have been reading a bit lately about people who swear by mono trace for Macks compared to wire, particularly for hook-up rates, although acknowledge that it does result in some gear loss if the entire lure/bait is engulfed.
