18hour session conamara revised...

#1 Post by lucky »

people...myself and tornadeo8..

bait...allsorts..

weather...sunny and good...

rigs...allsorts....
result please read on if you wish to......

picked tornadeo8 up at 9am and we decided to head out to have a look at some new marks... that have never seen rod and line before..
got out to the fish mark and had a good look around it was about 40ft down to the water but looked very rough... so thinking tackel grave yard... went to have an other look at somewhere else but the same... we must have walked for hours.. we decided to try the thrid mark... parked the car and off we went and what a climb over fences up rocks and over i was wrecked before we got there...any way started off to fish tornadeo8 had only got the bait in the water and over the rod tip went.... im in he shouted... nice one here we go a session on the way... he landed a fine pollack to about 8 pound.... cracker..... but that was it on the beach casters all went quite so out came the spinning gear loads of polack followed and myself went for some wrasse... worth a go again we agreeded... pack up and off we went to mark number 4.... got there about 8pm and we where straight in to fish... flounder after flounder... lost count of them... when the cover of darkness fell the doggies came on never seen so many come on the feed.. slaughter.... finished up at about 2.30am and headed for the hills.....
ps cant put pictures up as i broke my phone...... i will try to post them later........

18 hours thats dedication 8) the 8 lb pollock is some fish, my best off a boat is 8lbs can only imagine the fight off the shore, Pollock are imo one of the best fighting fish in our seas.

Great session Alan, well done on the big pollack, and putting in the work to find the marks!

What were you getting the wrasse on?
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

Well done fella's, great results there. It's nice to have you back Alan, I've always enjoyed reading your reports. I would have loved to have seen a picture of the pollack :shock: it must have been a cracker of a fish! Well done tornadeo8 8) I bet the pollack and wrasse where fun to catch on the spinning gear where they? You must've got a good fight out of them with the lighter gear.
That was some session you's had, that's what I call dedication to your fishing - 18 hours with a few different marks visited, you's must have been knackered after all that walking. I would have needed some redbull to keep me awake :lol:

It’s completely your own choice and decision to make Alan whether you decide to keep on reporting on here or not but I for one would be sad if you didn’t report anymore.
As I said, I love reading your reports.
Let’s draw a line under things that have happened over the past week or so and just concentrate on what’s important to us all on here – fishing!
