We drifted the inner harbour on a short session on friday. Not much happening but it was a fairly relaxed session that was more like sun bathing than fishing. I caught a nice pollack on a flowing trace with mack and my dad had one on baited feathers. We headed out to the pub that night for a folk festival which ran into the wee hours so the heads were a bit iffy in the morning but i decided to head out for a quick session before the girlfriend woke up. We drifted both sides of the harbour and along the deep channel in the middle. I had 4 whiting and a poor cod on the 3 down rig and we moved over to a reef to try for a few pollack. I tried for a few mack which only resulted in one launce, new species anyway so i'm not one to complain. I had a dab on a flowing trace with a 4/0 and large lump of mack, hungry little fellas they are. My dad was still trying to catch a few mack which resulted in 4 pollack hitting the feathers at once as we came over the peak of the reef. He thought it was something big and was a bit gutted when he saw the 4 small fish coming to the surface. Things seem to be picking up a bit around but it's still not full on with the summer species. Loads of dolphins in the harbour. I was tryn to get a video of them and one jumped right next to the boat. I was standin on the bench and it gave me such a fright i nearly went for a swim. Amazing sight though.

nice fishing!
Did you catch anything on the east ferry side of the refinery?
Fishing is definitely not its usual at the minute.

Didn't try over there. We fished along the turbot bank and around by carlisle fort and around that area for the most of the time. I fished off the shore from aghada a few times and had very bad results so i tend to stay away from the area altogether.
