Rock Mark, West Cork, June 23rd and 24th 2008

#1 Post by John D »

People: Me and my brother Greg

Duration: Two days

Tide: Tides were high at approximately 7.30am and 7.30pm

Weather: Calm and dull on day one, breezey and sunny day two

Bait: A number of different lures with the Kilty providing the results

Rigs:

Results: 1 ballan wrasse, 1 mackerel and numerous pollock.




Report: We decided to head down for a couple of nights to try and pull out some decent pollock and maybe a bass too. This will probably be my last overnight trip before my new and first baby arrives. We fished the tides at various stages but down here it doesn't seem to matter because there's a fair depth and run of water in most places at all times. Lost a couple of fish that I'm likely to think were bass because it was from a known bass mark.

It was a really good scrap alright.

Did you enjoy your trip to Egypt?
