Co, Sligo Rock Mark, The 2nd & 7th of June 2011

#1 Post by FisherKing »

People: june 2nd myself, June 7th Myself & John

Duration: Two Hours each Day

Tide: Filling

Weather: Sunny & windy

Bait: Limpet & Spinners

Rigs: Single Hook & weight

Results: June 2nd: one Ballan Wrasse, two Pollock. June 7th: six pollock




Report:

June 2nd

Was looking forward to getting out & wetting a line all week so decided to give it a go that morning.
Packed the gear in the car & made my way to a rock mark, on arrival it didn’t look good, very rough with some dodgy swells running :roll: every ten minutes but I gave a lash, spinning was very slow so tried for a wrasse in one of the deep gullies but they were few & far between missed a couple of bites but landed one nice coloured wee Ballan 8) quick pic & back she went.
The tide was starting to fill quickly so I moved a further down the rock & started spinning again after a few minutes I spotted a nice pollock bolt out from the kelp & take the spinner which gave a great account of its self got her landed a nice fish of 3 lb, hooked a better one on the last few casts which put up some scrap a fine fish of 5lb 8) happy days

June 7th

We went to try a different mark as we hadn’t fished in years after a fair bit of a hike we arrived I was first to cast out & hooked a good Pollock that managed to shake itself free at the last minute :evil: I casted out again & hooked a much better fish then disaster hit, my reel jammed, I tried my best to get the fish landed with the aid of a big wave but she made one last bolt for freedom & got in under the ledge & got free :twisted: while I was trying to get my reel working John was hitting Pollock every third or fourth cast with all the fish been around four & five lb weight, all I could do was sit and watch :twisted: the worst thing about it all was that I always bring a spare reel with me but had taking it out the night before to clean it & left it in the house :oops: but I’ll be back & the fish better watch out :wink:

Well done Brian and John, great fishing. Shame about the reel Brian, it would have been nice to have got that fish landed, it sounded like a cracker, not to worry, you'll get it next time 8) That's a nice looking spot in the bottom pic, looks like the perfect ground for pollack and wrasse although I see what you mean about the swells, dodgy looking enough. A nice couple of days out fishing with good results.
Great report and pictures, nice one lads.
