Mack attack'

Took a trip out to Balscadden this evening. First thing I saw as I arrived was big seal cruising in front of cliffs. I hadn't fished there in years ( place filthy b.t.w. ) Anyway few macks comin in . Threw out a few casts and eventually felt bang bang bang, great I says ''three on''. Start reeling in from cliff top..... wallop rod bends in half ! I inch forward and have a look down , just to see big shadow of seal chompin' on me last mack. lol. I got the remaining 2 up the cliff face... but I reckon he was the biggest thing I goin to get on a mackrel trace this year !

Same happens to me I thought I was snagged and ended up pulling in a mackerels mouth , seal got the rest

aleast u didnt blank bimmer hows the new rod did u try it out

Haven't tried it yet, was using older rod for the rocks. Might try hitting the sand somewhere over the weekend if I can.

Regularly seals take macks and other catches leaving just the head for the angler.

Makes catching them a bit harder that's for sure..

I always seem to have bad luck with seals, nice bass taken once and a fish that was to save be from the dreaded blank.

I know what ya mean... I think if seal took a Bass on me I'd think I'd be goin in after the fecker!
