Bait:jelly worms

Rigs:

Results:2 polack

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report:caught them both in first half hour then a group of idiots started jumping off the cliff right beside me, didnt get another bite after that. seems even the rock marks are being taken over.p.s. the ammount
of fishing related rubbish strewn about the place was disgraceful. it doesnt take much effort to bring it with you.

Hi Greengiant,

Were the pollock of any size?What way do you use these jelly worms,ie hook them, trace,etc? I hav fished this place a few times before, usually spinning. Have caught the odd small pollock and mackerel, and if ground fishing I use sandeel and or mackerel,seem to only manage dogfish!

Thanks.

they were around 2-3lbs. i use the jelly worms on a lead-head (ie a hook with lead attached to it) and jigged it slowly along the bottom in the small cove to the left. as for a trace just tie it on you dont need any extra weight and it doesnt spin so you dont need a swivel . the hooks on a lead-head point upwards so they dont tend to snag. for bait fishing i would try some crab cause there has got to be some wrasse there.
