Portrane Cliffs 03.07.2020

#1 Post by Gonzo »

When: 03/07/2020
Where: Portrane Cliffs
Duration: 21:00-23:00
High Water: 22:51
Equipment: 11ft Daiwa bass rod with Shimano 4000 Reel
Bait/Rig: Sabiki feathers for mackerel.
Conditions: Overcast and a slight rolling swell.
Result: A pollock

Headed down to Portrane cliffs to try see if there is any mackerel knocking about, managed to get 1 small pollock on a reef about 30 meters out within the first 20 minutes and then nothing else, first time I've actually caught something down here, I'd say it'll be great for mackerel in August/September.
