(the other half will probably be out tomorrow)Duration: 4-10pm
Tide:high at 19:40
Weather:slight notherly wind, plenty of sun
Bait: sprat
Rigs:float
Results:enough mackerel to feed a small colony and a nice mullet
Catch and Release:: Yes/No: mullet went free, shook a few mack of a barbless hook to survive for anotherday
Report:
went out with the intention to catch a few mack then start some serious fishing, but as the day progressed it was hampered by makky bashers
so in the end i put a small float on and started using sprat as bait in the hope of a possible garfish or pollock and maybe a seatrout
as the mackerel were chasing sprat right up the slipway i saw a few nice sized mullet sweeping up the injured sprat.. quick change of hook size and loaded a small sprat.. the joy of lifting the poor sprat every time a shoal of mackerel appeared.. this really confused the onlookers
and after catching another few mackerel i finally hooked into a nice 4lbs+ mullet.. all i could hear around me was "hey, this fella has caught a shark", "Look it's a pike" and "hey boss, i'll take da off ya"...
so what was just another bait collecting session turned out to be a nice mullet session..
it was extremely funny to see every one try to catch mullet with toby's and feathers after i released the fish
