An Corraun, Mayo 21/8/2007

#1 Post by kieran »

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...

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
