Report:
Launched my boat in Ferrypoint on Thursday evening and headed out to try for some bass. All we caught was 3 pollock.
On Friday we tried for bass for 1.5 hours without a sign of a fish. With the water like a millpond I decided to head out deep to catch some mackerel, pollock, cod and whatever else was there. Mackerel were a priority and everybody wanted some for dinner. I was also going to a BBQ last night and wanted to bring some with me.
Up went 3 sets of 5 feathers and down they went towards the bottom. With a couple of seconds a fish grabbed my feathers on the way down, followed by another and then another.







We tried in several spots for mackerel but not a one was to be found.
3 happy fishermen went home.
No photos as fishing was too frantic
Talking to other boats very few mackerel are being caught around this area at the moment. I have never experienced this before as ther are usually in by the beginning of June or even earlier.........very strange
