I took off fishing yesterday evening and had a great evening at it, caught 12 big pollock for myself. When I was walking back to the jeep i noticed a bmw just after pulling in behind me and thought nothing of it and unlocked the jeep so I could put my rod and things back in but I looked back and noticed your man bursting his arse off laughing and I figured then that his woman was taking a slash so I waited a minute before I heard her getting back in and I walked around then, the look of embarassment on her face was priceless and she gave a little salute, with a little grin on my face I gave her a wink and your man nearly fell out of the car laughing and she just put her face into her hand. Might not sound awful funny but it was hilarious at the time

Thanks Redz, just what I wanted to hear...:mad:
I was back at the Lighhouse in Ballyvaughan myself yesterday. The first chance I got all year to do some. I was there early, about 2 but caught feck all. I lost al lot of feathers too. I was rightly fed up leaving. I always catch something. There was some foreigners near me and they caught a few mackeral.
Where did you go and were you using feathers? I take it you caught the Pollock in near the shore. I love Pollock...
I was over near ballyreen but not in ballyreen, Its a kind of a bit off the beaten track and not many people know about but it is full of pollock. Only brought 2 home but they wouldnt fit across the fridge whole they were so big. No I was using rubber sandeels on a very light rod and just flick them along the bottom slowly. Was getting bites most casts but they are finicky and never took the lure until it was under my feet. Casting no more then 20 yards on my little twig of a rod so they were in very close. Black head is like a desert, there is too many fishing there day in day out taking everything they catch!!

So that's what a pollock looks like! Even though I'm from a fishing area I've done little to none of it myself. What are they like to eat? I must ask the locals for some to try them out....redzerologhlen wrote: »I was over near ballyreen but not in ballyreen, Its a kind of a bit off the beaten track and not many people know about but it is full of pollock.
