Cue japweed explosion and sea hare infestation!

Another week or so and mackerel feather sales will soar.

I find 10.5 and up starts things off proper.
We'll soon be out LRF'ing for snipe, macks, bream etc..

literally, 2 - 3 weeks away I reckon

 

[Mick Ward]

There will be snipe at certain daylight marks now, La Moye, Gorselands, Le Pinnacle etc, the first mackerel catches will be echoeing in the shop in about a week or two I recon. By the first week of may you will be able to fill a set of feathers from the shore with mackerel, so not long now and we are in for some fun on the light gear, cant wait either.

I saw a Snipe on monday night in the harbour, near the sill at South Pier! He must have been an advance scout for the main platoon.

What are Sea Hares? The little bugs that cover your legs when you are standing in shallow water at St Ouens?

 

[Keith White]

Sea Hares are those slug things that turn the sea purple when you stand on one by accident Mark.
Gutters get full of them.

 

[Mark Sleep]

Ah yes, saw hundreds at the Minquiers when I was Ormering a few weeks ago.

Good news. We seem to be about a degree behind Jersey.

Starting to see signs of life... Deeper water marks with the odd Roselet and small shoals of small eels on the surface. They have been absent since November and I welcome the bait back with open arms. I do not however welcome the shore netter which this warmer water attracts into the bays...

BRING ON THE BASS
