Weekly adventure
East coast Harvesters
Once again we headed east , Cod fishing has been great that way lately so we headed there for another bash . Six strong paddlers and we headed right out there from the sandy beach . Weather was good again and a little chop on the water .Soft lure fishing for me and a bit of fly fishing too for mackerel .The day started well ,you have to be right out there to be successful , the mile mark .Lots of small coddling , 3lb max 4 lb taking the soft lure . I love this type of fishing on the kayak , bouncing the little lure just above the bottom and teasing those fish out . and then Something drastic happened ,In the corner of my eye ,around 50 yards out my friend steve was playing something big ,3 minutes or so later the whole thing overturned ,the man lost his balance and turned straight over . I race to him , and rally all the other kayakers . Steve was having a big of trouble turning back his yak over ,a big 15 ft . I help him out the best I could and he struggled back in , just to over turn again . On the day my friend never bothered about his dry suit , just wearing his kayak jacket . Also to make matter worse he tied his waterproof trousers to the bottom . When he capsized , he got a right good shock in his system finding the water really cold ,his trousers filled with water too. His life vest was stuffed with many tools making him so heavy he really struggle back on top .The cost of his misfortune was a rod and reel , some lures but could have been much worse . We help him back to the shore and had something to eat . Second half we paddle right out again , looking for more fish .I needed some bait for my future trips and had a bash at the mackerel .Was not long to fill up my bag around 30 king size mack just like that . We had a great day once again and stop on the way back to that famous chippie .Going out in a group saved my friend some bother .Plenty bait and a nice cod for our tea..Nicolas
