Well i was determined to get that monster, so i packed my kit and waded off to the south coast. was a wonderful day......sun shining, not a breath of wind, lovely fresh sandeel and fresh mackerel....caught first cast on feathers!
baited up, nice long cast with self weighted gar float and nice 3ft trace and super sharp hook pop, up flies my float, then down goes float then back up again lying flat on surface.......crutchie strikes......fishie on yippeee a monster 3lb garfish.........then zrrrrrrrrrrrrr slosh rachet goes......i wake up!!!
yep i had fallen asleep on the rocks dreaming of that illusive garfish!! slosh had woken me up with a nice 4lb strap on the end of it....gave a lovely fight!!
anyway after my little rocky dream, I had wonderful day my dad brought my nephew down, oh wot a wonderful lad!! I haven't seen him for a while and oh, so lovely, he is 16 now and 6 ft 6 and still insists on calling me "auntie lynnie" (awwww! sweet). Anyway lol we had about 30 small pollock up to a 1 lb on floats (all returned) and I managed 3 mackerel on the float....but a long way out and i also managed 2 straps of around the 4lb mark, great fun lol, dad isn't a fisherman, so he was running around in a panic, nephew was being a wuss and i was being a girlie lol again both released unharmed (the straps not my nephew and dad!! lol)still no illusive garfish but a lovely, lovely day out with my nephewwill have to try coverack, pendennis or penberth maybe for those peskie gars!
