Not a proper fishing trip today - took SWMBO out seabird watching ( one of the conditions of buying the new boat).
Decided to try & get a few mackerel following Jason\'s tip off South Gare (for which many thanks, Jason). There were 4 or 5 boats with us, no-one catching. SWMBO lowers her binoculars, points and says \"There are terns fishing over there\", pointing at an area about 1/2 mile out to sea. Indeed, terns were diving, surfacing, and flogging back inland with beaks full of sandeel. Drove boat to indicated spot, dropped feathers - mackerel for tea! Just goes to show.
Way home was a bit dicey - docked in beautiful sunshine, going back down A19 - rain, hail, thunder, lightning, road like a river, lots of cars pulled up with dead electrics. Nothing like an English summer is there?
Won\'t be out next 3 weekends as off on jollies to Cornwall on thurs. Hoping to get in a couple of charter trips while down there. Bass/pollack on wish list.
