Bert, Jim & myself had a few hours out this morning before the forecast wind started. Headed out about 6.45am and stayed at the same 3 mile mark till about 11.0am. Nothing great but loads of action with mackerel (bigguns) coleys, whitings and codlings. We kept a dozen codlings, a dozen mackerel and the bigger whitings & coley to feed the pensioners on the quay

well done lads nice to hear my fav fish still coming aboard

Aye Jamie, as Bert was saying, the season got off to a slow start i.e. when are the mackerel going to show, when is the sea going to settle down etc. the best we can hope for is a few more weeks of predominant westerlies, before the winter sets in. btw, are your waders still leaking round ya nuts. lol.

The spoils

 

[mick dunn]

Looks spot on. I always put mine in deep oil frier with batter. Seems canny way you cook them.
Mick.

 

[KeithB]

Only cook smaller (thinner) fillets that way Mick.

Bigger chunks go in the deep fat fryer.

 

[Tadpoleman]

I thought the fish you caught were deep fat fryer quality ?

Nope, not much chance of any spare beer in our house , just flour, baking powder, pinch of salt & water.
