Today’s weather and forecast were too good to ignore for this time of year; I soon booked the afternoon off work, first to dig some lug then to go fishing.
The three mile wrecks were empty, and the drift proved a little awkward with the southerly wind flowing against a southerly tide. This called for a trip inshore to St Mary’s which had proved so reliable last Sunday.
No one else was there and no fish showed to start with. The tide was stronger here and the drift in the opposite direction to further out. I eventually hit a pocket of fish, all a good stamp around 2 ~ 3lb with a few better fish. A couple of kayaker paddled out, hopefully they found the fish too.
I thought I’d hooked the best of the day which turned out to be a five pounder with the line looped around its tail and a second smaller fish on the other hook.
Several more drops saw double shots of fish brought up on both hooks. All of them except for one were returned.
Coming in two-by-two.
Fishing got better and better to the point it was time to show some restraint as fish hit the lures within seconds of dropping them over the site. Putting the rod to one side for a few minutes, I set up the Go-Pro video for some shots above and below the water. I’ll see how it came out and post an edited version if it’s any good.

That will be it for this week with too much on this weekend. Good luck if you get out.
