Mackeral thick in Newport....

I was at Goat Island yesterday, and there were pods of mackeral feeding all over the place. I snapped a picture, but it didn't come out that good. You can see a few of the small pods up on the surface past the gulls....

Today I drove up the causeway right around 1 pm, and the frenzy was insane. There was a huge seal feeding, along with tons of birds. There was one lonely soul at the top of the span, and he had a 5 gallon bucket overflowing with 6-9inch mackeral, and had just pulled up a rig filled with 4 squirming macks........ I stopped, asked the guy if I could cast his rig a few times, and dropped 6 on the sidewalk next to him in 2 quick casts.....I would have stayed, but I had a meeting.



Guess where I will be Sat. around 1 pm?
