Report:
Big thanks to PollocKing for this mini-trip, wouldn't have travelled down that far but for reading good chat in a recent shore report thread.

Landed my first macks of the season :D with the first cast, three on board, caught enough in the next 45 minutes to be able to come home as dinner provider.
Got some small pollack between.

Went deep next with jelly worm for pollack, nothing hooked in half an hour to no avail, would like to have spent more time at this but had to go.

So that's about it really, apart from the whale that breached about 500 yards away, the very large dorsal fins that circled around about 50 yards out, the boiling water, the hundreds of fish swimming with mouths out of the water, which I thought were macks but on going back for my polarised glasses I could see they were masses of mullet, the gannet that dive bombed about 10 yards from where I was standing, the stoat that came alongside on the rock for a few minutes.

Was it worth getting up at 5AM and doing a 75 mile detour on the way to work for just over an hour's fishing.... was it what!
