We’ve been fishing a lot this last week, enjoying the beautiful weather, calm seas, and ready supply of mackeral.

The pattern right now has been a dawn bite, with things tapering off as the sun rises. On successive trips we’ve had double headers on the first drop or two, then go to singles, then….having to go hunting. The fish have also been  a bit lazy, as we seem to have a number of chasers that harrass rather than commit.

Lest this sound glum, there is a real thrill to watching mackeral sprinting for their lives, with bass swirling in pursuit. We try to use the light Shimano sticks, as many of the fish are marginal keeper size.

The nite bite has been off due to the slug of mackeral, but that can change at any time.

C’mon down…
