Pollack from shore

#1 Post by Shaneox »

Anybody notice a fall off in pollack numbers from the shore this year? I have heard a couple of reports that they are few and far between and was wondering if anybody has had the same experience...?

Waterford pollack as never before they must have all come down here but you will have to chop and change to find out what they are feeding on .
