    Hey guys
    Was out fishing with my Dad yesterday and. Pollock were there like we'd never seen before .. Following a massive shoal of sprat. Everyone was having a field day gannets and gulls alike.. We also got a few mackerel... One of the times I was spinning .. Reeling it in became next to impossibile and the rod was fit to fly out of my hands (we were about 30 foot up on a ledge) and I leaned over and checked to see I had 6 huge pollock on my 6 feathers ... Sickeningly thought, the line snapped just as we tried to bring them in ... Is it common to get 6 pollock on 6 feathers??

    this happened to me this year as well when i was spinning feathers for mackerel so i cut off 3 feathers and its no harm to have 20lbs line!!
