Unfortunately a planned trip out with Jeff on "Jupiter's Moon" on Saturday was not possible due to the wind and waves ....and more importantly the 150 million Kw's of power being launched from the sky , which if you are standing waving a lovely carbon fibre stick in the air, from a boat with lovely steel rod rests and aeriels , surrounded by a few miles of open water seems a recipe for disaster !
However the weather God was looking favourably on us because Sunday was a beautiful day .
The action was pretty instant with Tope , and few interloping doggies . The Tope were giving gentle bites with few of the screaming runs we had last year . But the circle hooks and mono traces meant good hook ups and easy un-hooking . But they really do "hang on " !
We could not get fresh mackerel so we used frozen baits . They were really excellent and those that say "only fresh bait works" might be missing a trick .
In all we had 28 tope to about 20lbs. I even had one Tope take a retrieved bait . Deadbait wobbling for Tope , now there's a thing ! Great fishing , thanks Jeff !
