Spinning from rocks this time of year

patn

I have only ever caught fish while spinning or lure fishing from the rocks in August or September. Is there a reasonable chance of catching this time of year ? Would you fish an hour before high tide from rocks and try and get the lure deep ? Going to west cork at Easter.

yep u should get Pollock anyway, we fish west cork a lot and had mackerel there in april last year the Pollock can be up to 7lbs, some scrap on very light gear

Would you fish a jelly lure or something deep through sea weed ? Any way to stop constant snagging ? Thanks a mill

Where I fish is pretty deep around kinsale area, I hardly ever get stuck even with 28gm lures
I say it doesn't matter what u use to be honest if there are pollock there u will catch
Be good to bring both I say coz the soft lures are very good too

Texas or weedless rigged lures helps but if you want to hook fish you are going to hook snags too!

I will be around crook haven barley cove goleen area. I will try the piers at dun lough and toormore and maybe also galley cove by crook haven. Thanks for advice.
