A shrimp on the spinner!

Report: Where are all the mackerel???

That explains it, the shrimp have chased all of the mackerel away! lol

greystones not great for macks anyway.

I was reading somewhere that all the basking sharks have moved offshore and they eat plankton which sandeel and sprat eat,and they are eaten by macks,the story with the sharks is something to do with currents and surface temperature,just thought id throw that theory out there or just blame the Icelandic and faroese trawlers for the hammering they gave the macks last year also our and Britains pealagic fleets hitting them in the winter off the west coast

I have the same hand as you mate. Feckin exactly the same..Nice shrimp too.
