tried a mark on the way out in the bay for tope after no success we headed for the aran island seen as it was so calm.arrived at the mark picked off plenty of good size mack kept a few for bait,and caught a few small whiting but returned them all too small and picked up a doggie on the larger rod it went for a mack tail.we headed alone the coast near fanore for pollack in about 40-50ft deep picked a nice few 4-5lbs pollack kept a few and returned the rest to fight another day,great sport on the pike rods.had about 40 -50 mack all day to keep us entertained.so heading back in around 6pm and to rescue a stranded jet ski from renmore who got stranded when ski took on weed.good day all round but no big that day

but a great day to be out none the less.must have been out of this world no wind at the arran islands and still a good days fishing.we had to tow a yacht back to harbour also on sunday no wind and the tide was too strong for him he had no engine on board we watched him for about a hour struggle to get against the tide before he came over and asked for a tow.davebouy said to me under maritime law is this yacht yours we laughed .i said we would wait until he bought a bigger one
