If anybody saw a madman on the moors near Clearbrook yesterday, casting out looking like he was trying to catch sheep or ponies....that would have been me

First fishing trip in donkeys Saturday night so was seeing if my reels were still actually in working order.

Shorely you'll be 3 sheets to the wind after the game

I wasn’t driving but yeah only had a couple pre-match. Not much hot rod action though. Was difficult to even hold bottom with a 6oz grip lead when the weather got worse. Was still good to get out though.

I'm looking at a couple windows of opportunity towards the end of this week, weather calming down a bit and big tides

Picklecombe to Kingsands is always a good bet for some shelter in a S or W wind, I find low tides up are best. The are a couple of spots from Mount Edgecumbe round to Picklecombe as well. I'm off up North Devon for a couple of days will pack a rod although the tides are a bastard up there.

My youngest bhey said that a mate of his was walking the cliffs at Zennor on Sunday said the weather was rough as fook when he saw Gannets by the hundreds wheeling and diving right into a huge school of huge bluefin and dolphin, he said there literally hundreds of them all feeding on Herring which was boiling on the water about 400m away from him.

That stretch of coast from St Ives round to Sennen is just fookin majestic. Was sat up by Pendeen lighthouse one day in June and it is just breathtaking.

I quite often park my van up around Botallack for a night or two like you say that whole piece has a magic of its own quite different from Sennen to Penzance which is much softer, there is some good Bass plugging to had around all of it tbf. The Star in st Just is a good boozer the rest of them on the whole have been socially cleansed.

Had 3 mackerel this afternoon, all under a pound. Sea was boiling with baitfish for the first hour or so then it died down, small shoal of gar swam across right in front of me, one knocked my lure but missed the hook. Several other bites missed, no bass but an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours.

Sounds swish, I had a few Mackerel this year, not enough. I had a couple of wee Bass on squid in Southampton Docks yesterday.
