People: Myself
Duration: about 2 hours
Tide: mid water on the up
Weather: cold NE, dry
Bait: nil;
Rigs: various lures
Results: 1 pollack (1 kilo), 1 mackerel (decent) and bizarrely given I was spinning one pouting (500 grams).
Catch and Release:: Yes
Report:
Yep, first off was a pouting. Never knew they chased spinners but apparently they do. Was using a small surecatch pattern in the form of a mini pike (yeah I know in the sea!) but it looks like a small mackerel too. Worked fine. Took the mackerel later. Switched to a blue/silver saltwater tassie and took a nice pollack near darkness close in. Stuffed to bursting with sprats, coughed some up. Gannets showing me how to do it offshore, nice to be out and a pouting spinning is definitely a first...
FWIW

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...
2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
