hi robbie and john,the tides wont be very good for catching pollack near dusk they will be too low and ye will have problems with weed,ye could try the rocks out on the south side of the pier around high tide,cast towards the tower you can see on the rock in the distance,go for a long distance cast and be careful on one of the rocks as the tide surrounds its and if the sea is rough keep off it
if ye are walking toward the white lady spin off any of the rocks and ye should get some smaller pollack

Thanks

Thanks for the info Gerry. We will give it a go anyway. Wats the weather like over ur way. Is there much rain

im mad to try get a pollock on a spinning rod and a bait.

If tides are wrong, you could always try float fishing just above the weeds with mackeral strip or sandeel, or even a jelly worm. Keep lifting and dropping the line through the sliding float so the bait has a bit of life in it. That often tempts the pollock out of their low-tide beds, meantime the wrasse will keep you amused.

Thanks ill give it a go
