Great days fishing (for me), out of Kinsale with Butch on Sundance Kid, lovely Sunny weather, grumpy germans and some great pollock on shads with a very very light spinning outfit...(the germans were SURE i had the bottom with the 8 pounder) the did'nt seem to happy as a landed a beauty!! :D
There were a few other big pollock, a couple of big ling and another big conger on board from the others throughout the day..
Skipper said overall poor fishing, but was a great day for me..taking the light spinning outfit along everytime from now on!

Its the nicest way possible to fish pollock...the whine of the reel on the first dive is a joy :)

Light tackle pollack bashing is a drug man..... I bought a small, 5'6" baitcaster rated for up 6lb to 12lb line max casting weight is an ounce I think, I team this with a small abu baitcaster reel and its absolutely super sport. Used to use a spinning rod and fixed spool reel but found that combo too big when fishing from my own small boat. The baitcaster is much handier.
