Not sure were to post this one so have put it here in venues. 
Had a couple of days down at Caerhayes this week and had a cracking time with the family, weather - well what could have been better!
Fished some Lures and Wedges just having one pull and a massive swirl at the surface. Sadly fish shook the hook and the rod never bent over.
Half a mile or so off shore I noticed a black back gull skimming a fish or two off the surface. Paddled out to take a look and it was Pilchards feeding on Very small fry at the surface. In some places the water was jumping with them.
Left a few of them Prawn / Crab traps overnight and pulled them today with some fun and anticipation.
Anyway photos will say more so here they are:
The launch site.
Whats that Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please note that I only take him out when it is flat and notice the extra handle fitted for his safety. He loves it and is so brave!
2 dogfish 1 Huss (6lb) and an undersized edible crab.
Next one up - 1 dogfish, 5 undersized edibles and 4 velvet swimmers.
Last pot had three goldsinney wrasse and a big rockling.
Those red bouys show up well and are extremely visable in the sunshine.
Then back for a bite to eat and safetly back on the beach.
Kids playing poker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pleased with the couple of days!!!!!!
Next time maybe some more fishing proper!!!! Was a couple of days of fun and the fishing is sometimes just an addition.
