[Yak] Dale (Dogfish)

Dale 18/10/2009
Time: 8.00am to 12.30pm.
Tide: HW+1 to HW+5. Spring, ebb tide.
Weather: Calm in bay, breezy outside.
Sea: Getting choppy out of the bay
Tackle & Bait: Feathers and whole mackerel
Fishing: Rubbish! No mackerel, just dogfish.
Comments: Ebb tide not so good for fishing me thinks. There were no mackeral about which was surprising as I thought they'd be around still. Stupidly I sent a large bait down to the bottom and the inevitable greedy dogfish (pic) turned up for it. Gave the dogfish to Phil for his dinner :) Nice day out though. Andy (top pic) joined us with his new pedal boat (Hobie Kayak). Tried fishing close in to the rocks and also out in the haven but nothing doing. Dale is a nice place to launch from as there is a car park and you can go straight across the road onto the beach. There's a jetty further up as well.
