first paddle of the year !

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

The FPO and i had our first serious paddle today Sat 14 April.

The sea was flat calm and we timed our launch to get the start of the flood tide, when we arrived there were load of sea-birds sitting about 10 yards off the beach and as soon as we had made a couple of strokes on the paddles the sea was alive with fry and bass !

We tried various ways to catch some but it was only about 12 inches deep, we paddled a little further and striaght away i got a garfish ! we continued to cast around but we must have broke them up as the birds by now had moved off !

 

We paddled out to the rocks and i had another gar and so did the FPO !

 

We drifted for about an hour and then anchored as the tide had picked up, it was solid wrasse the FPO had one of about 3 lbs and i also had a corkwing !

 

We fished for about 1.5 hours and then came back .

 

great weather !

 

happy yaking !!

Nice report Luffers. Nothing more exciting than seing a shoal busting :thumbs:

1 on the lure is worth 2 from the bait.

I'm still alive but the kayaks have been hung up for 6 weeks now, been so busy with work ... :(
