PACK OF MACKS!

Between busy schedules we were able to sneak a day trip offshore in. The shallow coastal waters provide the perfect backdrop for chasing a myriad of tropical species, with a wide range of angling methods. This is what we caught...

This was a chance to get busy with the prototype Ultra Light Jig Major Craft Go-emotion rod we've been testing over the few months. Unfortunately this good fish was lost after a long fight...

The IMA Gun Peki jig in a new limited colour lands us a juvenile Long Nosed Emperor...

Then we get into a pack of Macks. These speedsters are most welcome...

There is no lure like the Jackson Pintail Tune when it comes to offshore casting for these fish...

They weren't thick but we still managed to get into some fish...

Jackson Pintail Tune at its best...

Despite the many imitations that have flooded the market, none have the same ability. And the anglers know the difference, there is only one Jackson Pintail Tune...

More meat for the table. Spanish Mackeral are most sought after food fish and command high value in the local markets...

The new limited colour IMA Gun Peki jig is already creating waves within the jig community. Here it is with a typical reef dweller...

Back to the casting and another Mack joins its mates in the esky. On the relatively light Major Craft Giant Killing casting rods they go hard and fast...

Jackson Pintail Tune scores again...

As the pelagics slow we pull out the new Major Craft Solpara jig rod in a baitcast version and soon get a visitor in the form of this Sandy Bream...

Like many others, it couldn't resist an IMA Gun Peki jig...

Hugging the bottom with an IMA Ichimatsu jig we pique the interest of this Grouper...

And next on the ultralight Go-emotion prototype is a rare Cod which went hard in an attempt to bury us...

The IMA Ichimatsu is deadly on these reefs...

Its small but a quality Coral Trout which is released to grow. Its curiosity got the better of him when he saw the irresistible new Major Craft Jigpara jig dropped within its field of vision...

We then combed the shallower reefs with the DUO Blazin' minnow and scored a hat-trick of greedy Coral Cods...

We then switched to the IMA Spin Gulf spinnertail and plucked a trio of ooglies from their coral caves...

We wrapped early but not before one last hurrah. This beautiful African Pompano struck a Tacko jig worked succinctly on a Major Craft Crostage rod and gave a thorough work out on it. The perfect way to end a day on the water...
