Hythe 17th September

[S63]

Mackeral are extremely reliable creatures, for the past two years they have arrived at Hythe in the same week, this year was no different, although sadly in much less numbers as is being reported around the country. Didn't use feathers just a lrf rod with small lures for some great sport, they came and went in 45 minutes! Amazingly there wasn't another angler on the beach, word obviously hasn't got around.

SEVENTY years ago,  at age 17, I took my first exotic holiday.       Exotic in those days meant South Devon - to be specific, the Tower Inn at Slapton.    Fished Slapton Ley (but that's another story.)

One day, for a change, I spun for mackerel  at Start Point   Got a huge bag, four of which I took back to the Inn.    Next morning Mrs Davey, mine hostess, asked "if I would like a couple of grilled mackerel BEFORE YOUR BREAKFAST"   Her breakfasts were king-size full English jobs in themselves, but I managed both. 

The Tower was a real anglers' inn*  in those days - huge breakfasts, huge dinners, no lunches (packed lunch optional)     I wonder what its like now ?

*an anglers' inn that offers in-house lunches is inadvertently telling you the fishing is not much good,
