Simon brought down my new yak this week. Many thanks .

I spent a few hours yesterday upgrading the anchor trolley to a full length one ,adding a paddle keep, and modding the crate.

Time for its maiden voyage .

With the forecast at no wind and the sea like a mill pond, a fivers worth of rag, some old maccy , and feathers,it'd be rude not too.

Launched about 6.30 and paddled out to Poole patch

Down went the maccy as a flapper, guts and all, in the hope of something toothy.

It wasn't long before the rod started bouncing and a good strap conger, around 10lb, came to the surface, smiled for the camera and obliged my t bar.

Then I put the feathers to work.

Scad galore with at least two dozen, all returned. Three good size maccys. Three dogs on the maccy fillet.

Time for the rag.

Bream. Corkwing. A first for me-Dragonet.

Seven species and the new boat is christened. Back on the beach at 12.30

I've learnt a few things about the marlin, a couple of things to sort , but in all a great yak .

Met Bri on the way in, doing well catching his dinner.
