[Yak] St Brides (Mackerel, Pollack)

St Brides 19/09/2009
Time: 8.00am to 5.00pm.
Tide: HW+1 to LW+3. Spring tides.
Weather: Overcast in the morning then sunny later. Slight breeze.
Sea: Choppier than expected in the morning then calming later.
Tackle & Bait: Usual lures.
Fishing: Good mackerel catched early on but went quiet later.
Comments: Another great day out at the end of the season. I went out in the morning on the ebb tide and caught around 15 mackerel of good size, along with a small pollack that I threw back. Had a break at lunchtime back at St Brides and Karen & Phil came along just after so I stayed in the afternoon. The tides were running strong and in the afternoon we went around the headland and drifted back - only did the one run as we were getting tired. Caught a few mackerel and pollack each and I landed a nice 3lb pollack that nearly pulled the yak over when it hit!
