When: 07/07/2020
Where: Launching from Rush, Co. Dublin
Who: Myself and my uncle.
Duration: 10:00-15:00
High Water: 13:44
Equipment: 7.5ft Shakespeare Ugly Stik 2 30/50lb
Bait/Rig: 5 hook pollock basher rig with size 3/0 hooks and 9oz lead.
Conditions: Water was flat calm going out with a bit of drizzle. The wind, swell and rain picking up as the day went on.
Result: 4 Pollock & 3 Mackerel

My second day out on the boat launching from Rush, we didn't bother going to an anchor mark as visibility was poor, instead we hit some reefy areas and I caught 4 pollock and 3 mackerel. My uncle only caught 1 tiny pollock too small to eat so he was a bit annoyed When I got home I made some really nice lemon pepper seasoned golden breadcrumb coating for the pollock and also had some new rush queens to make fresh homemade chips

Cheers, yeah the pollock on it's own can be fairly bland but I think is really nice in batter or breadcrumbs!

More reports to come and hopefully with much bigger fish!
