Well I did go off fishing again. I went back down to Haldon Pier, Torquay and set up my new Freerunner Warbird 6BB and setup to do some float fishing.

This afternoon was dead but this evening pulled in a large number of mackerel plus some Garfish grrrr. Ended up with 9 Mackerel which I kept, 3 Garfish which I threw back and half a dozen small pollock which I also threw back.

I thought that there wouldn't be anymore large Mackerel about but I was surprised to pull in a couple of 1 1/2 pounders tonight. I know that isn't big but compared to the Mackerel I've been pulling in the last few weeks it wasn't bad at all. It was also good timing because the Mackerel I had in the freezer got ruined because the freezer door wasn't shut properly so I've been able to restock.

I was also suprised how quiet it was on Torquay pier today. There couldn't have more than 6 fisherman this afternoon and no more than a dozen fisherman this evening. as I was leaving all the night time pro's were walking along the pier with their nets, stoves, half a ton of clothing. I want to learn night time fishing but I'm always too embarrased to ask for guidence. Because it's getting so dark so early now it's something I'll have to do soon.

Ok, I thought my 1 pound Garfish was big, Check this one out. Think I'll keep quiet now :-)

That's it for now. If anyone wants to help me learn night time fishing please get in touch, I'd love to learn!
