Portrush 18th July 2012

Location: Blue pool
Date: 18/7/2012
Tide: Rising, HW
Weather: Manky. Wet & windy
Beach/Rocks: Rocks
Baits: Sandeel & Mack
Rigs:Feathers, pulleys and Abu Toby lure
Species caught: LSD, Pollock & Mackerel
Report: Shocking evening weatherwise out on the rocks, it was as dangerous as hell and I went down a clatter a few times
. The lines were quiet at first and then the doggies came a runnin' . It was so damn slippery I took down the tripod and beachcasters and concentrated on spinning with a light rod. Pollock of a reasonable size were taking the Toby lure and Mack were taking the feathers. Both species were caught pretty much at maximum casting range.
We packed up when I fell for the umpteenth time, it was ridiculously slippery out there
. Good nights catching though, no photos this time. Knowing me I would have fallen in camera and all

it can come to the stage when wet algae-covered rocks can become ridiculously slippery. wise idea to forget about it.
maybe better to head to a beach or somethin
well done on gettin a few fish tho
