Popular Post mike farrants Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 Seeing as the weather was so good, and I had the afternoon to myself I thought I'd pop out mackereling again (I had planned on mooring up in Portland harbour and going for the bream - but as I didn't have all day I chose to hunt the elusive mackies again!) I set off around lunchtime solo to the usual mark - its only a short distance from Weymouth - and on the first drift I had a string of 5 macks - good start - the fladen Jazzy feathers doing the business again! I also decided to take the rovex 4ft kayak rod and Abu baitcaster reel for a bit of fun and to christen them as id had no luck on the kayak - this proved to be great fun - watching the rod double over and pulling up mackerel for the depths was awesome and really put a smile on my face! I had this rod static over the side with daylights on. totalled 21 mackerel (lost 2 at the boat) and 3 tub gurnards! topped up the bait freezer and shared some with the neighbours ad work colleagues. Hooked into this monster mack on the kayak rod, with it darting all over the place - awesome fun! HUGE! (ok the rod and reel are also tiny) cracking afternoon afloat! a mate wentout to the spoils and he had rays, bream, huss, tope and smoothies!

mike farrants Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 thanks yeah - just need to be comfortable at anchor alone, think i need to practice - maybe do it solo next time i am out with someone - to see how easy it is to do alone!
