It has been a long time since Tim and I went out on the Kayaks for a days fishing but it was worth the wait.
We set off early in time to get some bait at Lepe and then a couple of nice crusty loafs from the bakery on the way to Lymington. The plan was to get some worms for the odd flounder or bass that might make an appearance and some bread for the mullet that were the target species of the day.
This mullet fishing is quite new to me so I was more than happy to follow Tim's lead, he being quite an experienced Mullet man. He set up a couple of light rods with 10lb line with floats and small hooks.
We launched from the yacht club and paddled up the river and under the railway bridge. It was a slow start to the day with just one small bass being caught in the first few hours. The mullet were there in large numbers but didn't want to take the bait at first. Then Tim got one followed by another a few minutes later. I missed a couple of bites and failed to hook into any mullet but seeing the way Tim's fought I am keen to give it a try another day. A great day in spite of my lack of fish.
