Co, Sligo Pollock & Coaley Session!! 22nd & 23rd April 2010

#1 Post by FisherKing »

People:Myself & The Brother

Duration:22th: 3 Hrs, 23rd: 3 Hrs

Tide:Stranding

Weather:Very good with light wind

Bait:Sprat like spinner & Condor


Results: 22th : Myself (8) Pollock, (8) Coaleys, The Brother (2) Pollock (20+) Coaleys. 23rd Myself (4) Pollock (9) Coaleys,The Brother (2) Pollock (12) Coaleys




Report:
22th

With the lure fishing picking up in the past couple of weeks a session was on the cards for Thursday as tide & weather was ideal. We were at the mark & fishing within twenty minutes. The bay was full of Gannets diving, it was looking fishy :D & soon we were into some action, Pollock & Coaley’s every few casts with a few nice Pollock between 3 & 4lb showing 8) .
A Basking shark put in an appearance :shock: cruising up & down by the rocks & at one stage was about thirty yards from us!! It stayed for an hour then headed out the bay.Best session of the year yet :D !!

23rd

Was dying to get back down hoping for a repeat performance of Thursday, the sea was calm, no wind & the seagulls were feeding on the surface. The Coaleys were attacking the lures after awhile with a few nice Pollock mixed in, the biggest been 4lb 8) , it went quiet for twenty minutes or so until a Pollock about 6 or 7lb, made a plunge for the spinner just missing it on the surface :evil: , tried cast after cast but could not tempt him :roll: so gave up & moved further down the rocks, where we were back catching coaleys again, with the brother pulling out a 3.5lb Pollock. I finished up with a nice Pollock on the last cast, so happy days. Roll on the next session!!
