People:me and half of the people who have never been fishing in their life before :shock: (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 :twisted:

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 :lol: :lol:
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"... :roll:
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 :lol: :lol:

"hey boss, i'll take da off ya"...

sounds all too familiar. :evil: :evil: :roll: :roll: :roll:

also the amount of people who were taking macks off the hooks and then chucking them back......sad sight to see. :(
