Portmuck
Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:46 pm
Firstly I would just like to welcome myself back onto sai after I had a 2 week ban for voicing my opinion 
on an article titled "eastern european anglers risk theyre lives for a bite"
Anyhows
Went to Portmuck to try a bit of spinning with 2 mates, I however have recently taken the fly rod out of a 10 year hibernation and decided to give it a bash!
I wasnt dissapointed and was landing pollock within 3 casts they are good craic on the light gear but I was after a mackrel on it. Kenny and Rosco where just using spinners and in no time mackrel was being landed by everyone except me
but none the less I was happy with the pollock, just before it got dark I landed a pollock of around 40 cms. Dont even bother to fish portmuck in the day its very poor from experience all the good sessions is an evening tide.
Results
Me- 4 pollock, plus numerous losses
Kenny- 3 mackrel, 3 pollock and a coalie
Rosco-2 mackrel, 3 pollock
Tight Lines

Nice session. A man after my own heart.... I am busting to get at some macky's with a fly. Hard pushed to do so this year as I am finding them a little too far out and beyond my casting ability. DOH!!

cheers guys!
your right al, the pier is not good, I have fished this place for years even before the steps around the hill and that side is best. Thats the second time in a couple weeks we fished there, the previous trip was more productive, the fry and sprat where bubbling below our feet and we where catching mackrel and pollock in 6 inches of water!! Thats why I brought the fly rod, so crazyfish if you want a mackrel on the fly I suggest Portmuck.

I'm glad i found this site. Ive heard alot of bad reports on portmuck, but this session sounds good enough for me, i've never caught any other fish except those boring old mackerel but hey i cant complin ive still caught a fish.
I really wana catch Pollack and Wrasse or bass and cod.
Must give portmuck a try then. Cheers for the catch report mate.
