Popular Post Andy135 Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Headed back out again this evening to fish the second low water on the rocks below St Catherine's Castle in Fowey. And as before in the morning session I didn't have to wait long for a hit. A big one too, from a monster mackerel! Likely my PB, but I didn't have any scales to weight him so I'll just have to guess the weight. Another mackerel followed, a little smaller this time. Then the bites dried up for a while as the tide hit absolute slack water, but as the flood began to start a strong take hammered the rod tip over. The fish took off under a rock and locked up the line. Not risking a break I gave it some slack and within a couple of minutes it moved out and I could bring it to the surface. A reasonable pollack, but not quite plate-sized. Bites were becoming thinner as dusk started to fall, but one last cast brought a very small pollack to close the book on the session, before making my way back over the rocks to beat the flooding tide.

It occurs to me that I've done more fishing from the rocks than from Jersey Girl this season 😳. Must fix that but I do enjoy a simple shore session.
