North Coast

#1 Post by crazyfish1983 »

Me and 2 mates

All day from 10.00 to 6.00

flood at different marks

blowy and then some more wind

feathers

1 mack and 1 pollock

As ususal we moved between different marks to try and find where there are some fish. In desperation after blanking at some marks we tried a mark that normally works for us. We arrived to find someone on the mark but on closer inspection they were packing up which was handy. After a brief chat he advised that nothing was happening but we thought we would give it a go. Fished it hard between 3 of us for 3hours and 1 mack and 1 pollock about a lb to show for it. Better than all 3 of us blanking i suppose. no pictures as i was too afraid of taking my eyes off the stormy seas :? :? :?

HI yngkmd

To be fair it has been fishing ok recenty. we have had some decent pollock up to 2 - 2 1/2 lb and quite good colaies which was a surprise they have been up to about 3lb :shock: :shock: :shock: . It was a strange NE wind blowing which I think changed things
