alun j. Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 What a difference a day makes!! Today........straight into the mackerel! First drift two bass; better one goes 6lb. 8. Another on the next drift......then all goes quiet as the tide dies. A different 'zone' for the ebb and pick up two more but by now boat traffic is busy .....where are they all going?? Is there an airshow?? by 2pm, when we pack up to catch the tide, we've seen just one plane....and he seemed to be over the wrong beach! Great morning, super calm weather and good company. Poor Rich, kept trying but no takes!!......his lively mackerel must have been deploying some 'cloaking device'!! Here's hoping Sept. brings some more days like this. Alun.

rich Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Having just witnessed a Master Class in bass fishing I certainly did'nt go home disappointed! I must be giving my mackerel the wrong instructions. Thanks Alun, for a smashing day out. Next time..... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
