South West Friday night catch report

[John Mitchell]

I met up with bananas at slapton on Friday night , after much talking between us 2 and tat and decided slapton was our choice of venue .
Well the fish were there but unfortunately only mackerel, we shared bobs lure rod with a metal jig to catch a handful each , but despite staying til 10.30 when it was raining hard we had to call it a night no bites in the dark on bottom , I used 10 peelers and £10 of rag .I stopped when I had enough for lunch and a few for the freezer , I took home 8 fish .?

We think they might not be any fish in close as they are feeding on the spiders a bit further out , I seen a couple of spiders caught last night

They are supposed to taste really nice, Im not much of a crab person unless its got a 3/0 stuck in it.

yeah a lot of the time I do, they was coming in thick and fast at one point so instead a running back and forth to my box for the priest, quick snap and back to the fishing, does get a bit stinky on the hands tho.

Well done for catching, love lure/jigging for mackerel with a single lure and hook on a light rod, just wish they grew bigger. Still if mackerel are coming in hopefully everything is on the up.

Well if they are Cornish king crab they can bugger off back over the boarder, Will save me a lot of hooks and swearing ?
