People:me

Duration:12-2pm

Tide:dropping

Weather:lovely

Bait:rag

Rigs:sliding float, fished 10-12 feet

Results:5 coalies

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report:i wasn't too optimistic about catching much as orlock has been fishing slow so far this year. but as the weather is so good at the minute i couldn't sit in the house. i didn't get a touch for half an hour then my float sunk under, i hit it and resulted in a nice wee coalie. my overall result of 5 fish didn't tell the story, every cast my float was going under and i missed alot of bites. on another day it could and should have been 20+ coalies but thats fishing sometimes. maybe my striking action is a little rusty from previous blanks. nothing massive to report, fish ranged from 24cm-32cm. good wee session. :D

Nice to see you haven't given up on Orlock yet Rab01. At last there seems to be signs of life. Good un!!!

hi drewk, only disappointing thing was i expected a few ballans around. i also believe the macks r close by so i should be entertained for awhile. its a great spot i have at orlock mate, when the fish come in u can really catch alot of fish. come the end of june there should be plenty of good codling hanging around too. i love the summer mate!

I'm glad to see you're starting to get results again Rab its been a long winter for you as far as Orlocks concerned (but have to say you never gave up on it )

Well done. :D :D :D

Only ever fished the two spots at Orlock Rab01 but both have given me resonable amounts of fish. Plenty of coastline to try and so close to home. I think it might be a regular spot during the summer even if its just a drop-in for 1/2 hr on the way to other marks. :D

Well done Rab, glad to see the fish in at Orlock.

i'm glad to c the fish in too mate. it'll just keep fishing better every week now. its such a handy spot to fish and even though some of the rocks will be covered with mackie bashers soon, they don't seem to wanna walk as far as my spot. i love the summer!! :D

There's a lot of Coalies about at the minute....

i'd happily catch them week in, week out mate. when a shoal comes into the swim and goes on a feeding frenzy it is great sport!

Thats true.... Coalies on the Feed can be positively Ferociuos.... 8)
