The Last Mackeral

[big jay]

I keep a good supply in the bait pen next to the boat.
Note for the future- NEVER toss a live squid in there with them.

Last season i had 2 dozen or so alive and kicking,tossed a few more and a squid in there. when i came back in the morning i only had 5 f'd up ones left and a pile of dead in the bottom of the pen.

I was trolling a live mack off my kayak once and the baitrunner actually pulled out some drag, thought I got a very small schoolie, ended up being a squid attacking the mack!!

I call him lucky and give him back to the fish gods.
Got plenty in my freezer anyway.

I same the same about the ones that take that last bit of energy and manage to jump out the my bait well back into the sea.
