Cod and Mackerel supper

[Trevor]

I must begin by apologising for the quality of the photo's, however everything else today proved to be just perfect. infact the sea looked so calm it was like being on a lake.

My aim was to catch cod and very shortly a little tommy showed up to suggest they were there.

Then along came another

Both were carefully returned to grow a bit. Just as I started to wonder if the small sizes were all that would be on offer a decent 21/2lb showed up.

Then, happy supper was sorted I was pleasantly surprised to take my first mackerel of the year.

Daylights quickly suspended above the twintail and it was game on.
I was joined by John, another kayak fisherman who also began to enjoy the seasonal harvest. (again sorry for the photo)

It ended that the perfect sea for a kayak was complimented by a few Mackerel and a brace of cod. The biggest of which came in at just over 5lb

Well Dave they could not have had better weather. I can't remember the last time the sea was so glassy for so long. Mind you, 12 Kayaks fishing would have put a dint in the fish stocks I'm sure. It might even slow your catch rate down lol

There were more than 12 Dave! I was on the JFK2 and when we went north I counted 16 in and around that area.... Like a kayak flotilla! Hope they all did well
