I need some advice on pollan bay

#1 Post by JULIO RAGWORM »

Can anyone give me some pointers when fishing this area, I will be fishing it on the weekend 5th-6th Sept. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I had posted this before but under Ballyliffin beach but thanks to google maps I have found it to be pollan bay.
Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

It's a typical storm beach.. if you ever fished Benone/downhill it's fished the same way.flounder rigs but you can up the hook sizes to a 2/0 on one rig if fishing two rods as can turn up the odd suprise. Can be a little hit or miss though and being a strom beach can be unfishable if the weather is wrong. in a case where it's to rough leanin or tullagh beachs even culdaff are not far away. baits are rag/lug sandeel and makeral tip offs.
