17th

After getting a few Pollock & Coaleys two weeks ago, I was eager to get back for a few casts so grabbed the gear & headed to the rock mark.
With nothing for the first thirty minutes I got a good hard hit & was into a nice Pollock of 2lb which gave a good fight few pics & back he went. Ten minutes later was into another smaller one, so happy days with no blanks !!

20th

Had an hour to spare so decided to try for a Wrasse, but on arrival was greeted by a very rough sea & a fairly strong north westerly wind .
Hopes were low but said id give a go,so on with the spinner first cast I got a good knock & was into a nice Pollock just over 3.5lb-between the fish & strong current it was like trying to pull in a fish twice the size
A few casts later reeled in a lovely little greedy golden/ red Pollock which was the same size as the bait! . On the last few casts managed a Coaley, great to see all the rock pools full of life again & the Gannets diving !!

Gotta love them pollock! The colours on the little gold and spotty one are beautiful.

nice one Brian great to see they're coming now fish with you soon

nice fishing mate

Some nice Pollock there.

The smaller Pollock are very cool aggressive little buggers

Have you ever tried a small white teaser in front of the spinner/Lure? Its excellent for Pollock if there not hitting the main lure.

Looks like a really big treble hook on the your spinners.
Perhaps a smaller one would mean more hook-ups and less snagging?

Just a suggestion, good fishing all the same

Cheers, usually use a smaller one but that was the only one i had that wasnt rusted,although still managed to catch a very small Pollock, you wont get snagged at this mark its fairly deep!
