Fridays Plan

[Barney]

With a busy weekend ahead and probabley no chance of getting out on the boat a plan was hatched.

 

The afternoon was dragging and the sun was shinning, too nice to be a work so i sneaked off a bit early.

So here was the plan, quick load of the boat one rod only, loaded with mackerel feathers.

Through Christchurch harbour and out to the ledge an hour mackerelling ready for a BBQ tomorrrow. Back through the harbour up the river to the mooring, quick unload back in font of the tele in time to watch the football.

 

Well almost went to plan except the sun went in, it was a lot rougher than expected. Past PJ on the way back in as he went out. back in front of the telly 20secs into the match.

the Problem was i couldnt find the Mackerel, Ive never seen so many fish on the sounder they nearly filled the screen but could i catch one no. Then the rod started to nod and i thought here we go , Pollack's Pollack's and more pollack's atleast 30 caught and just when i start thinking i should keep a couple of the bigger ones i get a single mackerel only to drop it at the boat by now its time to head back in so one last drop. 3 nice sized mackerel and then nothing so time to go in.

 

So not a complete disaster apart from the football so far but not as productive as hoped

Mick.....Ur right ......should've stayed out fishing !!!

 

Anyway.......Pollacks would be good for the bar B .....not as nice as maccy, but fish.

 

Maccy fishing is strange so far for me this year........so hit and miss....almost like they are not shoaling......the odd one or 3 then nothing !!!

 

Better luck next time out mate

I only thought about taking the Pollack after i had put them all back. Confident the mackys would turn up, atleast the 3 i got will be enough for me

I have this mackeral fishing sussed out now.

If you want maccy, you really need to arm yourself with breaming gear and squid and keep telling yourself you are going breaming. Then magically the maccy will arrive.

I thought when reading "Pollacks" you were having a typo about the football.
