[Yak] St Brides (Gurnard, Mackerel, Pollack)

St Brides 26/09/2009
Time: 9.00pm to 1.00pm.
Tide: HW-3 to HW+1. Neap, flood tide.
Weather: Overcast, light wind
Sea: Started a little choppy then got worse later.
Tackle & Bait: Usual. Used a broken boat rod with 2 rings as it was short. It was a bit too short though, so may look to get another kayak rod for next year.
Fishing: Mackerel still about, but slow at times.
Comments: Phil came along and immediately caught a pollack and then 2 codling (top photo). We went around Nab Head area for mackerel and pollack and then headed across to Wooltack Point and Martin's Haven where there were plenty of mackerel. Caught a gurnard as well while trolling but put it back as it was a bit small. Went into a cave just behind Wooltack Point and found 3 seal pups at the back on some shingle with the adults in the front (bottom pic of me heading into the cave!). I didn't go in just had a quick look and retreated. Sea was getting a bit rough as we came back round the head. Overall a great day out on the yak.
