Arry 18,570 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Early Mackerel being caught in numbers. All small joeys but ideal Bass bait for you lads with kayaks. I know its early but if the bait fish are there it might be worth a try. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post

Cheers Arry When i lived in pembrokeshire and fished off the rocks a lot if i was bottom fishing and up high,i'd make a float rig on a running trace type thing and clip it on my main like and let in slide down.Caught a few things on this method like makeral,pollock and pouting and once had a bull huss on the bottom rig and a cracking pollock on the float at the same time..Chesil looks like a beach you could maybe do that on with it's steep banks????..

We often use a rig similar especially when it a bit quiet. We use a link swivel about two or three foot long trace a strip of Mackrell or live sand eel, best with off shore wind, Cast out let the line tighten and clip the rig on and let it go. Another rig that's useful is to have a trace running free above your main rig with a flounder float under it and a bead above, hard to cast mind. it will run up to your shock leader knot, it another good one for Mackrell etc. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post
