Were the Mackerel any size Czarks? Also were there shit loads or odd ones? Blackpool sands was always full of channel mackerel on an evening tide.

Had about a dozen in a hour period at last light. Most were reasonable size tbf.

Going up there tomorrow evening spend the night in the van with the missus before silly season starts.

Perfect. Get last light and first light with a snooze in between. Middle car park was productive, Ears.

Les, you’ve had a bit of success with bass ain’t ya? Have you fished generally in the Sound for them? I’ve never really targeted them want to have a crack at using some of these new fangled soft lures and weedless hooks a lot of people are banging on about, but I need to get a lure rod that will balance nicely with the lures probably first.

Spring tides morning and evening the way to go? Also any tips for (top secret) marks would be gratefully received

I got a nice bass lure rod at Liskeard Angling at the industrial estate on A30 recently called a never crack, carbon 9' lovely thing for about £60.
As for tides I find south coast fishes best on low tides and north coast on high tides.

Fished Beesands last night had two mackerel one of them 1lb plus put up a stonking fight. Saw Czarks seal but it didn't hang around. Fish very few and far between but lovely evening and woke up to watch dozens of dolphins feeding in the bay.

Sounds lubberly ears, pity you didn't catch loads but as we know, it's about so much more than that.

Been out last 2 mornings on the lures, 1 nibble which I missed, apart fom that nothing, lovely conditions/tides though maybe a bit too bright, try again tomorrow and if I blank I'm hoofing all me gear in a skip and retiring

Must get out soon spent all morning cutting up a hoofing great deer with a mate of mine, freezers filled with steaks, stewing and mince well happy.
Funny about the weather Les we all like overcast with a ripple but last year at Bude I had 18 Bass all keeping size (I only took two) day like today with a 10am high tide and looked like glass, if they are there they are there.

Saw this elsewhere  over 3lb caught on light lure setup, bet that was a decent fight.

feck a duck!

We had half a dozen in Millbay this arvo, not huge but brekker mañana.

Went out it plugging the nth coast couple of bass only about a pound each my mate at Cawsands says several decent Bass around at Penlee might give it a chuck there tomorrow.

Had a wee conger yesterday, in Southampton Docks, 90cm on a small squid strip.

Luckily we don’t have this problem down Rusty Anchor.

Showing up from Penlee through to Rame especially in the later evening, off out later.

Had a big bag of Mackerel on spinner last night fished from about 8.30 until dark and at first was having fish about every ten casts later on was a fish a chuck, really decent sized fish with a few two pounders, bought ten home and was releasing them at the end, great sport on light tackle.

Good size Mackerel, I hope to get a bit of time Monday morning anchored off the breakwater, fingers crossed.

We were watching the big fire over Kingsbridge way saw in the news it's been burning for weeks. There was a handliner that I know from Cawsands out there he was in the tiderace streaming out past Penlee but Gannets were going in all over, plenty of fish about.

Ansum.

Just had my best hour fishing for a few years 5.30 till 6.30am. 11 macky and 2 bass landed, one a decent fish touching 3lb. The sound was bubbling, bait fish by the millions, birds feeding and fish jumping. Wish I could've stayed a bit longer but it was a hit and run sesh
