docholiday Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well forecast not great today, WNW anyway thought we would go and have a look, difficult to find mackerel, eventually found a flock of Gannets diving, must have been about 70 of them, it really was a sight, wish I had had my telephoto lens with me. anyway drifted into the area they were working and picked up enough mackerel for bait, sea not to rough so headed out 6 miles from the needles, weather remained variable, had thunder, rain wind and sun, so typical British summer day I guess... Had 14 Tope, biggest 15 lbs spotted ray... tiny blonde ry small and 15 dogfish, so no specimens today but still beats working shooting on thursday, so probablly no wind and blisteringly hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeonblasterian Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well you look as though you both had a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Sounds like a good time was had by all! I do like a bit of dog fish now and again - Cut into chunks about an inch long, dipped in a garlic batter and deep fried! Yum, Yum, Yum! p.s. Theres nothing wrong with a good moustache, you would be surprised at what fanices it might tickle, and it is useful for straining the lumps out of the soup!
