ok what i have found on this boat.
not fished it as late in the year as october but have fished it all through the summer up till the end of sept.
What we have caught :
pollock to 12lbs, lots around usually and some good size. taken on various methods from gilling to jigging to mack strip. often we have found the best fish in mid water just below the shoals of macks. have taken these fish on larger hokkais, jellies or mackerel strips. they will also often be found on or close to the bottom around rocky pinnacles or drop offs.
the first year we were there they ignored the larger articficials (worms and sandeels) and only seemed to want small hokkais (fry feeding i assume) we had fish over 11lbs on these and i had a double shot of 9 pounders. have also picked them up on muppets and bloodworm rigs baited with rag or lug.
ling picked a couple up on baited pirks and baited hokkais, we lost one of nearly 20 at the boat
codling, launce, haddock, pout, poor cod, macks: picked all these up with smaller hokkais, flashers, sabikis or mardi gras rigs at various depths.
Gurnard: red and tub. had reds to near 2lbs tapping rag, lug and mack baited rigs (two up one down,bloodworm or baited hokkais) over rough ground marks and mixed ground
ballan and cuckoo wrasse again over the rougher ground with baited hokkais, muppets , flappers and one up one downs. crab, rag and lug did best, odd one on small mack ad sandeel pieces.
spurs and huss: anchor if you can but they will come on the drift too, get some rubby dubby in or a scent trail going and they should show. mackerel sides, squid and sandeel took these. standard ledger , one up one down and even baited feathers were taking spurs to 10lbs, i had one of 15lbs on a flapper. huss to 12lbs on mack side.
dogs, ray at anchor in brandon and tralee, same tactics as for the spurs and huss
skate and tope, havent had these but danny does catch them, anchored deep for skate (but you would want all day) and on shallower bars for tope. has had tope to over 70lbs.
good luck, pics below
