Kayak fishing, again.

After a kayak fishing trip earlier this year (check ewarts 3bsports blog) I'd been keen to get out there again and try my hand at fisihing again. I finally got the chance this weekend. I loaded up my freshly kitted out Manta Ray, and headed off to Meadfoot beach in Torbay.
Meadfoot is a great location for a bit of fishing, easy parking, a slipway straight to the beach/water and it seems to be host to some good fish too!



All the gear and no idea!



After a short while trolling around some mackerel feathers, I switched to a plug lure and started trolling with that. Almost immediately I caught a Sea Bass. Unfortunatly just as I was reaching into the water to pick it up it shook the lure, and shot off back to the depths! Bugger! oh well back to the trolling. I had a couple of other hits that reeled off a few foot of line but had gone by the time I grabbed the rod, and a cheeky seagull who managed to dive in and grab the lure, but luckly not hook itself.
And that seemed to be it,I was thinking oh well, time to call it a day, when I decided to go for one last lap round the rock in the bay. Just as I was about to turn to shore I got another hit. This time I managed to land it. It turned out to be a 2 1/2 Lb Sea Bass!


Mmmm..... dinner



Three hours on the water, two definate Sea Bass, two other strikes, and a sea gull! Not bad. The Bass tasted great, oven baked with butter, garlic, basil, bay leaves, lemon juice and some pepper. At this rate I could well be doing some more kayak fishing.
