West Bexington was hot....very hot yesterday. Sun was bright and the water gin clear ..never seen it so clear. You could see small flatfish swimming around and whitebait shoals.
But the target was mackerel...had no bait whatsoever and no dinner either and a few decent ones would do for both.
4th cast on the fluff produced the first mackerel...a decent size around 30 cm...then over the next few casts another 5 or 6 came in...all decent sizes bar one which was to be fish food (crab actually). Used the big SK4 16ft to get some distance with a 6oz lead. The fish were quite far out and most others caught nothing....needed to get a good 100 plus yards out.
Bloody hot day but the girlfriend enjoyed sunbathing while I fished! Magic.
Today I'll try and catch some proper fish...could see bass hunting around the surface but they didn't seem interested on any of my lures.
