Report:

Decided to hit Garron Point despite not having any rag and only having some fairly old frozen mackerel for bait.

We went armed with a several rods so that we could experiment a bit. Unfortunately when we arrived there was already a family fishing in "our spot". The guys were happy to make a bit of space for us. It wouldn't have felt right to fish multiple rods in the tight space so we settled for the float gear.

Had a pollack within seconds of the float hitting the water. The rest of the morning carried on in a similar vein with both Daniel & myself getting pollack on a regular basis. Most were about the 1/2lb mark but a couple nudged over 1lb. A few fat coalies turned up later on, these were a bit bigger being all over 1lb.

Bigger fish were caught a bit further out but the breeze and lack of space due to others fishing made it a bit tricky to control the floats at range.

One of the other guys fishing had a nice pollack of about 4lb.

When we were leaving I filled a bag with litter and discarded line. I could have filled another 10 bags if I'd had time! On the plus side I found 4 leads when I was tidying up!

A nice morning's fishing rounded off by chips on the way home.

Nice session

Nice bit of fishing that. Pity about the rubbish but a lot of marks are like that, sadly.

a good save there alan . sadly a lot of usually quiet marks are full of lads fishing away at the moment . roll on september when the hols are over and the kids are all back to school so we can get them to ourselves again

sounds like a good days fishing and good to hear you cleared up your rubbish but its a pity that people cant tidy up after them

Wasn't my rubbish Mark. (Well, not all of it!)
