mackie off buffalo
Submitted by dan1 on Sun, 2013-02-10 09:43
normally I wouldn't post stuff like this but last night while fishing off buffalo beach in Bunbury we had a Spanish mackerel jump twice only 30m out in front of us just wondering if many people have caught many off Bunbury heard of many story's off the blades and behind the ships but not this close to shore
might have to go get the lures out

Meant to say Dan, there are a lot of schools of Scalie Macks about in that area. I know this because I've caught them for bait.
I reckon a XRap about the same size as the Scalies and on a short lenghth of single strand wire will do the thing if you get your boat up there.
Also a couple of friends who have a well known business in Harvey and live in Binningup have told me they see them jumping every year out from there.
As notorious said, they are there.

Im going to launch at Eaton and go for a bit of a troll towards Buffalo.Thanks Gaffatron doesnt sound like I will have to be that far off shore to be in with a slight chance.
Convinced the mrs to come with me while the kids are at school so should be a nice quiet morning on the water.

get your lures down as deep as possible, 12-20m
