The Easiest Fish In the Sea

Mackerel at sunset on Chesil Beach

The light is failing fast and it is already too dark to film. I forget about the camera for a moment and enjoy the sunset and the stray mackerel that I have managed to snag. I am back on Chesil Beach for another chance to throw some feathers, but it has been slow; slow enough for me to fit in an hour or so of wondering if I know anything about catching fish. The wind, tide and light have dropped and finally the Mackerel have decided to put in appearance, my doubts are laid aside maybe I know enough to catch the easiest fish in the sea.

Making Reed Fishing Floats (bobbers) by hand

It has been a little bit of a strange week, I seem to have been stuck making a video that didn't want to be made; computer crashes, broken cameras, accidentally deleting scenes and then breaking the float I’d made.  Just before finishing the film I took my floats down to the lake and it all largely didn't seem to matter.
