[dingbat]

People: Kirl. Big Ralph. Dingbat

Duration: 5hours

Tide: ebbing

Weather: sunny warm

Bait: mackerel

Rigs: 3 up. jelly worms

Results: a miriad of small Pollock. only 3 worth keeping all about 5 lbs


Report: Left Creevey pier about 11am spent the first hour looking for mackerel. Caught 5 that was our lot. All the pollock fell to jelly worms spinning. I spent the time with Baited Hookeyes. No luck at all. The weather was great and it was a pleasure to be out. They dropped me back at the pier at 5pm and took on Francis, sob,sob I missed it all. they came back from the northern side (Dooran Shore) with a box of good Pollocck at 8pm.
