Fowey estuary again - plenty of fish

Andy135 · May 30, 2022

Headed back to the same spot as before, with the Majorcraft Jigpara 30g slow jig. Plan of attack was to see if I could better last nights result.

Upon arrival I met two anglers from Cheltenham who were staying in Fowey for the week. They were fishing sandeel on the bottom but hadn't had a bite after two hours of trying. I shared what I'd learned from last night and they switched to tinsels and began casting in roughly the right area.

There was room on the rock for all of us, so I flicked out the jig and began fishing. A few casts later I found a small pollack.

And a few casts later another one.

A better scrap from a mackerel next, which hit the jig almost as soon as it hit the water.

On the next cast I found another one but dropped it at the surface.

One of the lads from Cheltenham managed a pollack on tinsels, breaking his blank, which was good to see.

Another pollack came to the slow jig next.

Then another mackerel, this one taking the jig in the top 6 inches of water like the last one.

As the light started to fade the Cheltenham pair bade me farewell and retreated to the pub. I hung on for a few more last casts and picked up another small pollack.
