Report: Al and Jordan went down to the usual spot in donaghadee about 16:00 and got straight to the fishing. i arrived just before it got dark about 19:30 after work. Wen i arrived jordan told me that they had had a great start to their fishing this afternoon. As you can see they were right. I quickly go all rigged up with the float and set to work. it wasnt to long untill jordan was into yet another pollock. Al was next to catch 1 of three coalies and of course there was me last to catch. It was worth waiting for my first poor cod but not long after that myself and jordan were pulling fish up left right and centre and poor al did not pulli anything up for about half an hour or more but all in all a fantastic nights fishing even if i do say so myself

What sort of size were the Pollack?

Most I've seen this year have been about 1lb (most of the ones I catch are about 6" long LOL!) although I saw a 4lber caught during the week.
