Report:seems i'm becoming a bit of a resident down here, but the fishing was very hard going. i fought i may have picked a good pollock up on the frozen sandeel on the sliding float but they weren't interested. had better luck with the mussel, had a few takes but missed them! then i hit into my targeted fish, a nice pollock just under the pound mark. bites dried up on the float so i decided to work the bottom with a redgill rubber sandeel. which i am glad i did, caught 2 pollock and one was just over the 2lb mark, lovely! having to work hard at orlock at the mo for the fish. i hope august and september will fish better.

Hi, I was at orlock myself today. Glad you had better luck than me. There from 1 th 4 pm and no luck float or bottom fishing, but got 1 small pollack and lost 1 on a spinner. thankfull the rain lasted only 10 mins, put the waterproofs on, then straight back off as the sun came back. Cheers

think i may have spotted u as i was walking back to my car. were u fishing the first rock from the top of the steps??

In from the carpark and just on the right. 2 guys were using feathers beside me for a while, but that was after the rain. Saw a few leave when it was rainig, i had a green jacket on and was using the float at the time.
