darkside

Fished in and around the harbour. Floated feathers got eight mackerel and the feckin weed got two traces. I fished from the end of the harbour wall on the concrete cubes. I was trying to rescue a rig from weed at the waters edge, which was only a few feet from my fishing position, when I looked 'round a bloody big rat was stealing my bait mackerel!! The harbour walls are heaving with them.

that's a horrible story darkside!

I know the rats take a mackerel bait but does anybody know what size of hook to use? :twisted:

bring a peelet gun with you darkside it works a treat.
