I’m sure it happens coz plenty of people say they do it so one day I’ll see it happen im sure. I only get one or two a season despite many hundreds of hours trying but the way I see it I have a lot of years to perfect the art of enticing more hits. When I do I’ll consider letting a few go.

Cast up river on a 45 deg angle and vary the sink time on each retrieve. The fish aren’t always on the bottom at Mackies. Depending on the tide and river flow you might need to adjust your casting angle to suit the current.
