hi everyone, i fished my spot again with my daughter from 4pm til 8 and had pollock and coalfish coming out my ears.first 3 fish were over 2lb with one nearly 4. had well over 20 fish on the float using makeral as bait. had so many better fish than using rag or lures. the wane also caught two big whiting, a joey makeral and a large sandell with the coales and pollock she was catching on lures. tougue

hope other people are catching also.

hi, you can fish anywhere from portbaddan to the giant causway itself. alot of good marks but found an hour either side of low tide last week was best. but it can change like the weather.tryin low tide today when the wane finishes school.will let you know.

well a poor night, 1 codling, 1 pollock about 3lb, 1 mackeral , 1 sandell and 20 6inch coaleas and pollock. some might think not a bad night but after the fish i have had only a week ago it has given me the feeling its over again for another year. hope not. next try sunday all day.

The mackerel should be around for another three or four weeks depending on the weather. If it is windy it quite often drives the shoals into deeper water.

Down here they are coming in at dawn and dusk, they dont seem to mind the tide state wether its low or high.

The pollack should be around until Christmas then they dissapear until March. At least you have Cod up there, we dont get any in the West, just the occasional small codling.
Good luck and keep on reporting

hi everyone,went fishing at my usual spot from 9.30am til 1pm and was able to catch 2 mackeral, 3 coalies, 1 codling and a nice pollock about 3lb. good to see the mackeral still about and it keeps the freezer full for the winter months. tight lines to everyone:bye1:

hello everyone,hope you are all out enjoying the weather. fished my spot today and only caught a mackeral and codling spinning, and a coalie on float with mackeral.lost a good fish?? as we all say but i did ,it took off the other way picking my bait up.15lb line bitten through.have seen something big around this area and i always say i will take 80 braid and fish for it but never do.
came home early as the wane felt not well, there was a boy fishing along from me and he was catching some very nice wrasse. anyway tight lines everyone and hope you have done better than me today.

There are a good number of big Bullhuss around at this time of year, it was probably one of them, unless it made a big run withyour bait and then it could have been a tope.
