jerry.shutter Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 We had organised some friends months ago to come and visit us and the boat. They kindly invite me fly fishing every year and a return invite required. I did not know there capabilities but they were keen. We did the 2.30 bridge and we're heading out for some Mackerel then hopefully a Tope, after a couple of fruitless hours off Peverel and Durlestone I decided to put the hook down on a bank and try some frozen Mackerel and leave the feathers out. After an hour we had a nice female undulate around 12lbs and 9 Mackerel!!!!!!! So a gentle return as BBQ seemed more important than Tope!! After far to much enjoyment the night before, and a banging head we made the 10.30 bridge, same plan. This time thankfully 4 Mackerel put in an appearance and we headed out and had a beautiful long quiet drift down the Jurassic coast with Tope to 40lbs for both friends, they were delighted. Headed in to Dancing Ledge for a last hour with nothing to show for our efforts. Absolutely unbelievable weather and very happy friends, and wife!!!!😎😎 I now have even more respect for skippers like Ryan, I am shattered after a day and a half keeping people happy on board!!!
