With 5 x golden nuggets donated to the national trust, jonesbach and I managed to be on the water just after 6am. The fog on the way down was like pea soup, and nearly put us off, but we carried on and were met by stunning clear skies at Stackpole.
An easy high water launch and a quick paddle out we tried for some mackerel with little success. With a fair chop on the water, and wind and tide pushing us out towards the head (which looked as rough as fek!!) we decided to fish a few drifts inside the inner bank.

I managed a starry hound to squid 1st drop and Steve pulled in the 1st mackerel of the year for us. Codling and doggies landed and returned, we were both panting a bit from paddling back up tide and wind, and seriously hot, so decided to take an early morning break on barafundle to remove a few layers and have breakfast (a twix and a penguin!).
Back on the water we anchored up and were soon into the dogs, and some mackerel. We managed gurnard, codling and scad before we spotted a nearby boat landing a few strings of mackies, so up anchor and a quick move. After about 20min or so we had enough mackies for bait, tea, family, and a few for the freezer.
Back out to anchor up for something bigger left us feeding the dogs! Flappers and whole macks (less tails) devoured in minutes, so we up sticks and made out way back to the quay for 12 noon.
Glorious morning and another session under our belts!
Definitely plan on getting back out there soon for one of those toothy critters!!
