Report, Pembrokeshore Rock Mark

Date - 08/06/08

With a works competition scheduled for Tuesday (out of Barry), I mheaded West to a rock mark in Pembrokeshire, not far from Marloes, in search of some fresh mackerel, and also the chance of getting amongst the wrasse.
Within 5 casts with feathers, I had managed to get a few mackerel on the rocks, so I changed tactics, and fished old bits of ragworm close in to the kelp, and soon I was photographing the 1st corkwing wrasse of '08.

Next couple of drops resulted in a small pollack, and some superbly coloured ballan wrasse.

In amongst the ballans and small pollack, I landed the 1st rockcook wrasse of 2008.

The evening finished off with a few large corkwings (mostly female), and 15 minutes of feathering provided enough mackerel for bait ready for Tuesday, a few for tea, and a couple for the freezer. Mackerel were all a very good size.
