kayak07 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 well i got the car packed up this morning the venue was porth dafarch with the hope of a few fish :)i met up with shark at the conwy industrial estate for 9am . there is one thing i noticed straight away loading the yak on the car slightly heavier and most definately longer than my old p13,and also the bounce on the front of the kayak at a steady 55-60mph i will be investing in a sucker pad for my bonnet . we arrived at dafarch about 10am unloaded the kayaks and sorted things out ready to get on the water here is shark on the way to mackeral rock it was a bit lumpy just outside the bay but we plodded on heading further around the headland we were after a few mackeral but there was none about not even the charters were getting them or the small boats : i had the only fish of the day three whitting taken on a shrimp rig on the drift but i didnt get the camera out for the white rats ;D ;D we did numerous drifts up and down but the maccies wouldnt come out to play after having a good few hours drifting about it was time to put the 160 through its paces i found it a very stable kayak and a great fishing platform the rudder is a very handy bit of kit which i enjoyed playing around with ;D ;D i then handed the 160 over for shark to try out and got a few pics to having a paddle around in the bay then it was time to try the re-entry and stability out a bit more which shark did very well,here are the pics lying down the squat re-entry on the whole a great few hours in great company and im sure shark will be adding a bit more ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 What draws the mackeral to that spot? Water temps, structure/bait fish, spawning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLF Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Do you keep track of water temperatures in your fishing log? What about tides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
