Popular Post mike farrants Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2021 Had my Brother in law and niece staying with us - so decided with a break in the weather on Sunday we would pop out to see if there were any mackerel about. Shaun is quite happy on a boat but hadn't fished for a while, Maisie had never fished but was keen to catch something! She's been on boats before but isn't the most confident - but it didn't take her long to get her sea legs. we headed out of weymouth to Portlands North entrance, but the mackerel eluded us and the chop from the tide and SW wind was making it a little uncomfortable, so we headed up to Checkers (east entrance) and tried there, my bro caught a Gurnard, which he was chuffed with but not much showing in an hour of trying we decided to head back in and try the Pier. on the way back in I saw a mark on the fish finder so stopped and dropped - almost on the way down Maisie says "ive got something help" - handing the rod to her dad he pulls in 3 mackerel on maisies feathers - she was absolutely buzzing! - she wasn't too keen on touching them as the pic shows, but insisted we had them for dinner! she watched me gut them, and then helped prepare them for dinner - she ate all of hers! (I had a pout off the pier) Andy135, mick, Geoff and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
