currean achill tues 2nd june

#1 Post by doggie3131 »

People:jason and me

Duration:4pm-11pm

Tide:high 1.15pm

Weather:beautiful

Bait:feathers,german sprats,mixed shads and eels

Rigs:single hook trace

Results:mack,pollock, ballen wrasse?




Report:bought a shimano cardiff reel from seanie35 on the site and had to try it out :D so we hit the flags on the way down to currean to try for mack and pollock,we hit the mark at four with the tide well out but this is a deep water mark so it fishes at all stages of the tide,popped out one rod at distance with the hope of a ray or huss,and went roving with the spinning rods for mack,over the next few hours the mack were being caught but not in any great numbers,very hit and miss :( we were getting the odd small pollock as well so we were happy enough :D :D another guy called bernie set up near us and straight away started to get pollock on small silver feathers so we switched over to them as well ! result!! :D pollock seemed to love them and a steady stream of 1lb pollock were being landed,a quick photo and they were back in the water with us hoping for there mammy or daddy, we took a break and the three of us had a feed of sausages and beans and macky :D :D portable gas cooker!best buy ever :D :D bernie left soon after that and i moved over to the spot he was fishing and put on a german sprat,straight away i was into better pollock up to three lb :D :D jason joined me and lost a huge pollock that we saw before he power dived and snapped the line :( :cry: he was well into double figures!!at this stage the tide was well in and as it was dusk the big boys came out to play,i caught a nice pollock of about 5lb and jason had one about the same size a few minutes later!we were still catching the odd mack as well so it was all go,i had put a small mini rig out and i noticed a small bite and brought in a small ballen wrasse?i think? by eleven i had had about twelve pollock and jason the same,with about twenty mack between us :D :D the mack and four of the bigger pollock came home for breakfast,dinner and tea!by the way seanie, brilliant reel and in excellent condition!thanks mate!!
