hi
trolling with flyrod over shallow inshore reefs with small black flys 1 or 2 inches long around dusk
2 recent 1 hour trips produced 100LBS. pollock up 2 10LBS
within 100 meters of ballacourty lighthouse [waterford]
good way to catch on fly without to much casting
let out 30 meters f.line trool at walking pace
pollock on fly

I agree. Probably not the safest bet. Nice to see them hit the gly on the surface for sure. I wasn't being dismissive of your catch just wondering why you weren't spinning outright. We'll done on a very nice catch. I'd say you had quite a bit of fun with those big ones on the fly rod.
