Took the boat a couple hours north for the weekend in hope of some demersals. Unfortunately struck out on the demersal front as either big sharks or rays make quick work of the larger Underdog jigs we had and the wind never backed off enough for the smaller jigs we were left with. But we did tick off the pelagic target species with a nice Mack in 17m of water. The fish went very hard when hooked and the sizzling runs had us thinkink a Mack, but the fight was unusually long and the fish hung deep which had us second guessing that call. Eventually a big silver flash gave away the fish's identity and once on the surface it becme apparent it was foul hooked, hence the unusal fight. Backed the drag off and took it easy trying not to lose it, eventually manged to get it alongside and in the boat, happy days! Given how it was hooked you'd have to say a fair bit of luck was involved in getting it to the boat. Chucked the lures back out but that was the end of excitement for the weekend. Other catches included six Spotted Macks and a small SBT. No demersals but definitely worth the quick trip up.
