Report:This was only the second ever boat fishing trip for all of us, out of Bangor on the Missy Moo. Managed to pick some cracking weather again. We headed towards the Copeland islands in the hope of some reasonable pollock. At every stop we pulled in plenty of mackerell. We also got a few herring, and one or two small codling,coalfish and pollock.
Nothing of any size except some of the mackerell which were huge.

Mackerel in the Swilly this year have been tiny - like striped sardines!
