Fishing from a helicopter!!

Jim from Cork
My apologies but late the other night I "listened in" to a conversation you were having on the chat line, back in the dark days this week. Did I really read someone had fished from a helicopter (and caught mackerel!!) :shock: . Had I been drinking- or had everyone else been at the bottle? Am I going mad or just misunderstood what was going on? What sort of cast - hope it wasn't a full overhead thump :o

Yes Tim you read right.
That guy is both angler and helicopter pilot (methinks he's not sure which is his real job!!!!)
Curse to have to stop reeling to correct the hover!!
