People:me

Duration:8.00-9.00pm

Tide:high water

Weather:calm overcast,getting dark

Bait:mini jerk/crank baits and plugs

Rigs:none

Results:1 big mackerel and 8 smaller pollack

Catch and Release:: kept the mackerel,pollock all went back

Report:grabbed an hour out last night and went to the dee for the first time this year.nobody else there,had the pier to myself.
I had some small plugs and crank/jerkbaits that I got from lidl ages ago.
didn't like the colours so I sprayed them silver with fluorescent orange spots.took them to the pier and fished them jerkbait style with the mini rod.
excellent sport,getting a hit every 5 minutes. watching the pollock hit the floating plugs was great,just a dark shadow homing in on them.
can see me doing this a lot more.
tight lines all
cky
ps pollock were all around a 1lb,mackerel was huge!

Don't get too comfortable on that pier mate.

You might be evicted by a certain Drew McMinn from Millisle.....

I am surprised you even got an hout to yourself on it :shock:

Good going with the jerkbaits BTW.
