Greystones steps/rocks

#1 Post by ian 123 »

People: me

Duration: 2-7

Tide: In and then out

Weather: Sunny, windy and then thundery

Bait: mackerel

Rigs: 2 hooks flappers, pennel pullys

Results: 2 doggies and a pollock




Report: Headed out to greystones just to mix the species list up. Water was pretty weedy all day which got quite annoying :evil: headed to the steps first. after an hour of picking weed from my shockleader knot and no fish to show for it I tried moving to the rocks to the right of the steps. After a hour or so I got my first doggie, was happy not to blank to be honest. Next cast I managed to get another doggie. Was abit bigger than the first which was good. Before I packed up I got a great knock on the rod and pulled in a pollock of about 1 pound which gave a nice scrap for its size. Could have been alot better but was happy to get out and get a few fish. I will be back! :) cheers

Nice result picking up the pollock at the end. Tried the steps a couple of times but suffered terrible snags. The rocks is a better spot alright.

Fair play, next decent pollock I get, Is getting eaten! Never find the steps too snaggy, I never go straight out from the rocks but at a 45-60 degree angle towards the harbour and its much better ground
