Most of yesterday afternoon into evening, Chesil Beach, spinning from the shoreline. Not a bite for any of the 50+ rods out there. Including mine.

The couple of times I've fished from the shore I've not caught anything or seen anyone land anything.

What kayaks are you successful bods using?

Mines a 'feelfree nomad' (great name eh) It's not a proper fishing kayak but it was a bargain I picked up when the outdoor pursuits centre were auctioning off their older kayaks.

It's not kitted out for major expeditions but it's stable and gets me a few hundred yards offshore with a boat rod and a line of feathers.

Mackerel fishing been a bit weird this year. Still plenty of fish but only coming up in ones and quite scattered. Only had one day on the kayak where I was pulling up a full string of feathers.

Just out on a boat from Looe yesterday getting bait mackerel. Each feather was full just on the drop. Great fishing. Filled a box in about 5-10 minutes with 6 of us.

Cant eat enough of them this week, just gave 80 odd fillets away and we have had them twice this week and going to have them again tomorrow.

Caught from the shore and kayak, full feathers from each location
