@fishingwithkevy Mullet Vs Angler Vs Seal 🐟🎣🦭
Fishing with Kevy: River Dart Mullet Mayhem – Seals, Bites, and Missed Opportunities Ahoy, angling aficionados! Kevy here, back from an action-packed day on the River Dart. While the mullet gods were smiling down on me with three heart-pounding runs from absolute whoppers, I also encountered some unexpected guests that put a damper on my fishing fun: a pair of playful seals! Seal-ly Situation: As I cast my trusty bread flake into #fishing the swirling currents, I noticed a couple of sleek, dark shapes emerging from the depths. Two curious seals had decided to investigate my fishing spot, swimming around my chum and even brushing against my line. Talk about a fish out of water! While it was a unique experience to share the river with these charismatic creatures, their presence undoubtedly affected my fishing. Mullet Mania Persists: Despite the seal interference, the mullet were on fire! I had three solid runs from what felt like absolute monster mullet, their powerful surges nearly ripping the rod out of my hands. The adrenaline rush was intense, but sadly, none of them resulted in a hookup. It seems the mullet were more interested in teasing me than taking the bait. Lessons Learned and Future Tactics: This encounter taught me a valuable lesson: seals can be both a blessing and a curse for anglers. While their presence can attract fish to an area, they can also disrupt your fishing and scare away wary mullet. The Thrill of the Chase: Despite the missed opportunities, the day was far from a disappointment. The adrenaline rush from those powerful runs, the beauty of the River Dart, and the unexpected seal encounter made for an unforgettable fishing adventure. It's a reminder that fishing is not always about landing the biggest fish, but rather about the journey, the challenges, and the unexpected encounters that make each trip unique.
