Hi Yakkers,
At Kev's insistence that a "report" gets written every time someone wets a line, following is a very brief report of yesterday's yak fishing foray to JS.
Time:- 0600 for 0615 launch
Present: Harry and Jimbo
Tide: Neaps low at ~0600, high at ~1100
Sea state: Predicted 2.1m ocean swell but actually only about 1.2m making launch and return in shelter of MG a totally dry affair.
Wind & Weather: Partly cloudy with cool and brisk SW breeze initially, but swung to W and dropped out by 0900 making conditions very pleasant, particularly after cloud burnt off.
Water clarity: Reasonably clear - could make out fish being retrieved at about 3m down
Outcome: Harry: Tail end of two soft plastics bitten off but nil landed fish. Jimbo: Undersized sweetlip on first cast. A keeper sweetlip (just) on about fifth cast, one more keeper sweetlip after about 2 hours. Two big hits on a trailed pilchard but no hook-ups.
Returned to MG about 1045 for easy return to the beach to be met by Beanie "The Sun God" and Bill and Monica Barnett with picnic basket.
Very pleasant return to yak fishing after a break of about two months. Harry was threatening to go out again today (Friday) but don't know whether he did or not.
Cheers
Jimbo
