Bullock harbour
Sat Aug 29, 2015 11:16 pm
From: 14.00 to 17.00
Low tide: 17.30
Weather: wind 20km SW
Bait: mack strip and shads
Results: pollock
Thought I'd take advantage of a few free hours today and tried a bit of LRF off to the side of the harbour. It looked a likely spot. You can see that it's heavily fished for mack during the summer, lots of feather packets and beer cans thrown about
there were a few people fishing with feathers, didn't see them catch anything. but managed to find a spot that was ok. Had a few small pollock on the shads. Then the wind and waves picked up a bit and the water took on some colour, shads stopped working. So I set up a float rig with mack strip and had another few small but nice fish. I know fishing around places like Bullock might not be the first choice for many of us but it was actually quiet good (all things considered). Just a pity that every rock mark around Dublin is being littered. Anyway, pollock on light tackle was worth the trip

Will give it another go with different bait next time ste c, only had mack strip that day and the pollock were very quick to it. I was thinking that rag or crab could turn up some nice wrasse. Thanks for the reply.
