Report:Had a couple of hours to kill this afternoon, so headed down to the rocks between Ballyhornan and Ardglass. Deep trolled sandeel accounted for all pollock and 3 mack. Pollock of a good standard from 2lb to the best at just shy of 5 lb, photo attached. Surprised to see so many mack still about. After I ran out of of sandeel i put on a 6" blue bass bullet to see if any of the bigger pollock were interested. Caught the last mack using this on may last cast. Amazing the size of lure they will take.
very nice shore caught fish mate. i fish ardglass alot but never caught to that size yet. wouldnt mind trying that spot. is that the usual size caught? or just good day.
Sorry forgot to answer the rest. Had a dozen fish about this size this year. Most are in the 2-3 lb bracket but plenty of 4-5lb fish. Haven't managed to break through 5 lb yet from this mark but I am sure they are there.
