Mackeral Glut

[abbo]

No Mackeral all year, then, thousands of them appear around the North Wales coast.

Yesterday, as I flicked out a variety of lures the Mackeral were fighting to get at them.
The Bass though, were playing hard to get. Gorging themselves on 4 inch Joey's. They just didn't appear interested in my humble offerings of plastic.

After several hours and two different venues, I was about to give up, in search of a decent fish.

I decided to the play the game of "just one more cast". This lasted for about 50 minutes after high tide.
I put on a Zonk HT in cruising blue to imitate a joey - and whack, 20 yards out I managed to land this, after carefully manoeuvring it from some sharp edged rocks, into my net.



Cheers all,
Abbo.

Good to hear from you Abbo The mackerel seem to have disappeared from the Fylde coast only to be replaced by dogfish! Nice bass mate. Not seen one of them here yet
