[b]Report
From experience when fly fishing from a rocky shore its good on a calm day to get your old smelly mackerel from last year cut them up into chunks and throw them into the water like a chum really mix it up and it brings in the smaller species if they are about then the mackerel come in searching for the smalies then the pollock come in soon after along with the mullet and odd bass its suprising to see how much of a chunk of mackerel a large mullet can suck into his mouth.

Well anyway thats what I tend to do sometimes when the fish are scarce prebait the area :lol: thats what helped me along sunday evening.

Good to see a result on the fly, I had tried Doughmore on Sunday night with the fly rod without success.
