cresswell 3rd yak sesh

[Billzo]

well we set off again this morn 4 a sesh 4am at cresswell on the yak, it was a loverly morning sun just coming up over the water again.
it was hard going 2 start with, we could'nt seem 2 find the fish then keith hit in2 a macky that had swollowed his beach bomb lead, mad any way we tryed at anchor & drift with nothing 2 show.
a sml tommy then came up by keith then another by me but was still very slow, keith then got a clonking wrasse & the codling started showing there faceswe still had a good 4 hour sesh with a good few codling & keith managed 2 get 4 good wrasse then i hit in2 a good fish that i could'nt get up off the bottom & lost it. a few more codling & pout came up & i hit in2 another good fish that turned out 2 b a nice cod of 7lb
our paddle out-

our keepers of the day not as good as our 1'st 2 sesh's but it took a while 2 pin point the fish this time.

ship 2 shore & flares only no motors just paddle power or some yaks now have peddle power & they do shift.

Well done billy, seems like youre enjoying the yaking mate, very tempted to give it a go, bet it's a peacefull sesion on a flat sea.

What a waste ! Taking residential fish from the kelp beds, dont moan because theres not much to be had from those same areas come sept- oct.

[Topfly]

Dont worry about it Slatey. as fish move out
, other fish move in to take their place.

Sorry topfly but i disagree,those fish will have been there all summer and will only be replaced once the fresh run fish start coming in with on the set of the winter seas, and as we all know this can be hit and miss. The fish caught early on in the season tend to be red or brown fish which have lain in the kelp beds all summer and once their caught it will be the following spring before more fish re-settle.
