I can't wait to get into the pollock here in donegal, been out twice just so far this year but nothing!!..
Tight lines!
cheers man. it seems really patchy for the pollack so far. some of our marks are fishing well for them while others seem barren. but sure it's still early in the year for them yet. hopefully we'll actually get a summer this year and get into them properly :P :P :P

Maybe tomorrow as low water is in mid afternoon. Its my only low tide pollack spot and probably one of the best! It fishes even better from a boat- cover more ground.
deffo man. we try to hit it when the seas are calm as any kind of swell results in heavier tackle losses there. but sure we do'nt mind losing a bit of gear so long as you get a few fish :wink: :P :P

As usual a great report and very well written, with great pictures.
Regards Wez
thanks wez, how's the form with ya man?
it was good to get into something a bit better this early in the year, but sadly the better cod seem to have evaded us so far, but theres time yet :wink: :D :D
