Results: 4 codling, 23 Pollack, 1 whiting
Report: Not the greatest day to take the kids out as it was a little bumpy, but i'd been promising them for weeks and it wasn't too bad. They enjoyed it anyway, entertained by the dolphins jumping and splashing around us. My youngest (not quite 3 yet) caught her first fish, a 2lb pollack and then a whiting, so she is well into it now :D and wants to watch the fishing programs on discovery home and leisure the whole time.
My son caught a pollack early on and then we were messing around with different rigs etc as we drifted over harbour rock, to not much avail. Got a bit lumpy so we headed towards the east shore and trolled around. Hit upon a shoal of small pollack near Carlisle Fort, so he was delighted bringing them in 2,3,4 at a time.
Not the best days weather or fishing I've had but they enjoyed themselves so I'm happy and they stayed out all afternoon with no complaints.
