Mackerel Fishing

Mr Watson (left) and Mr MacLachlan were out on the water yesterday showing how mackerel should be caught - though, in the Diary's personal opinion, the latter should have been doing something about keeping his piglets in their pen.

Even the younger members of the party were catching fish.

There's been a good run of mackerel this year, though reports are that the ones that are still be caught are smaller than earlier in the season.

The party caught a total of 53 fish, mostly mackerel with a few cuddies.
