Surprise catch

Caught today at Currabinny - to say I was surprised is putting it mildly.
Caught on mackerel strip on a size 4 hook

Good sign so

I was out kayaking yesterday morning fishing the fall. The better half was with me and said she noticed flickers of silver underneath us, so i dropped a line ASAP and was immediately into the macks! in all got about a dozen, a cod and a pollock both around 3lb. would post pics but on the way back to shore i got hit by a wave on the side got flipped over by a wave n lost most of the fish, the bait n most of my rigs

Disaster paddy !What condition were the ones you caught in?The fella I caught was lean to say the least -post spawning ?

there was no real size to them and i was kind of surprised how light in color the markings along their backs were, they didn't have the dark green and black markings id expect.

I've already got itchy feet thinking about Thursday with the breeze coming from the east planning to launch from stradbally and drift back to Dungarvan bottom fishing with baited feathers.

Where abouts in Currabinny do ya fish and what can you expect to catch if ya don't mind me asking. Was walking there with the kids a few times and was wondering was it worth a go???

I'm not going to tell a lie- yesterday was the first time I fished there.I fished off the pier- which can be awkward you can't really cast into the channel as there is too much marine traffic. I was just flicking my baits out. As for species-I don't know ! Others might advise.

In winter I would guess you could catch whiting there, they are common throughout the harbour. From now on would like to try the little rocky corner past the pier lure fishing for bass might be worth it.
