cheers ger. i had a go at some of our summer wrasse and pollack marks recently. and all i got for my efforts was the dreaded cheque book and pen but hopefully things will pick up soon

Yes another great session was made with my new PB rockling. Turning into Al's lucky charm with him having 5 new PB and 1 new species in last 4 trips thanks again for letting me tag along Al

What a session lads. That is very good fishing. Congrats on new pb's. well pleased for ya's.

the seatrout is a kelt,ie spawned trout dropping out of a river long and skinny,take a look at chris feenys seatrout caught in galway real fat healthy fish

Seatrout seem to be that way at this time of year John. Apparently it takes till May before they are back to full health.

yeah and about a pound heavier as well,used to hammer seatrout in march and april in portstewart spinning ,all spawned out fish souldnt fish sandeel because the swallowed the hooks

no probs dan, your more than welcome. ready to do it all over again on monday

What a session lads. That is very good fishing. Congrats on new pb's. well pleased for ya's.

thanks dawsey. we'll have to get you out over easter for a go at them

the seatrout is a kelt,ie spawned trout dropping out of a river long and skinny,take a look at chris feenys seatrout caught in galway real fat healthy fish

fat healthy fish or skinny kelt,,, all the same to me john he,, she,,, or whatever it was, still fought well on my 10foot spinning rod a'int that what it's all about

souldnt fish sandeel because the swallowed the hooks

couldnt fish sand eel because the trout swallowed the hooks,deep hooking difficult to release withouyt damaging the trout ,you get it now

jeese john,,,, don't be getting the knickers in a knot. if you read back through all our past posts you'll see that we always have sand eel out with us. we usually get out fishing 2 or 3 days a week and in the past 4 years thats only the second trout i've ever caught. the sand eel is for other fish too. doggies pollack coalies and bass will all take it. and just to clarify things with that trout i caught, he was'nt deep hooked. he was lightly hooked in the corner of the mouth, just bleeding a bit, but thats the chance your gonna take when fishing. but cheers for the advice any how man, duely noted.

the seatrout Al caught was smashing fish considering the amount of small coalies and suicidal whiting that normally we normally catch on that beach. As for using the sandeel it is a bait Al always uses on all his trips he swears by it as not to many fish will turn it down. The pic maybe didnt do the fish justice it deserved. It had plenty off fight left him after a great tussle on Als spinning rod and was a great sufrprise for us on a slow days angling.
