St Brides - Mackerel, Codling & Smoothhound!

St Brides 25/07/2010

Went out about 12.30 to catch the incoming tide. Looked a bit windy to start with but wasn't too bad once we were on the water. Mackerel were still patchy coming in, but all were a good size. Ended up with about 15 nice mackerel. Also caught a codling in about the same place as I have before. Phil caught a smoothhound on feathers!

St Brides - Mackerel & Pollack

St Brides 12/07/2010

Weather suddenly calmed down, the sun came out, the wind dropped, so I packed up work early and headed for St Brides in the late afternoon. Sea was a bit choppier than expected and must have been from the recent storms and winds. Caught nothing for a couple of hours - ranged from the rocks to out by the bouys. Nearing high tide started to catch mackerel around the rocks along with the shore fishermen and another kayak. Got a good size pollack, and the mackerel were mostly large.

Stackpole - Mackerel, Gurnard

Stackpole Quay 25/06/2010

Went out for the day and the weather was nice and Karen & Phil etc were there as well. Caught some mackerel but only now and again. Hit the odd shoal then very quiet for a time. Got a little gurnard as well!
