Caught 2 of these yesterday off the Island @ Mazeppa on a McCarthy Paddle Tail, safely released. 15 mins of screaming reels! What a blast!!

Well done, what sort of retrieve were using?

Hey Porra Newbie - I was using a medium retrieve on an ultegra 5500 so not too sure what that translates to on another reel. They were hitting the lure about 5 to 10m away from the rocks and then steam training out to sea - also had a few hits on halco poppers and on a blue clone lure fished on the surface, but the pink paddle tails were on the menu. Have also had success with red over orange paddle tails in the past.

Those pink paddle tails have insane action in the water, give a little jerk & it goes wild.
Nice catch there, can't wait to get mine!
