when i was a young un a long time ago i was fishing for flatties from the small beach at shields, this guy in a canoe paddled over and asked if i had any feathers as there was a huge shoal of mackerel a bit further out. i attached the feathers to my line put the reel in free spool and my new found friend paddled out with the feathers jigged them up and down a bit at the right spot and then let go of my line and i reeled in four mackerel. we repeated this a few times with the same result until he got a bit sick of it and disappeared never did get his name, gud fun tho!

wasnt Christopher Columbus was it, think he was around when you were a wee snapper.

I used to fish off a canoe around oban, you have to plan the trips with the tide! Good fun but hard work! more like paddling white water in the river if you get it wrong.
Around here on a calm day its great fun and the tide is not as fast.
I will be out this summer around Whitley if you fancy a go, I have a two man ocean kyak I bought last year .

[TIM]

Have you still got a wet suit Alan?

[Charlton]

A friend of mine does this. He asked if I would make him up a trolling rig. It\'s a sea kayak social type of thing. A group of them go over to the West coast among the islands, launch some place, then paddle towards somewhere else. Bottles of wine, sleeping bags, tents etc are carried inside the kayak. The idea of the fishing part, is that as they paddle, they trail the fly behind them. Anything caught is then cooked to accompany the wine when they haul up on a beach somewhere to be eaten by midges. Can\'t quite understand why they do it, but if someones got to be eaten by the midges, better them than me.
