specimen whitefish trip Union Hall fri 7th august

[jw]

As discussed already i've booked colin barnes' catamaran Holly Jo

http://www.whalewatchwithcolinbarnes.com/

for Friday 7th august to target specimen
cod, coalie, pollack, ling, conger etc on the wrecks

To attempt this type of fishing in deep water it needs light winds and no swell,
there's no point in trying it otherwise. Fridays forecast looks ideal at this stage,
though predictions this far ahead are not totally reliable.

Please post in this thread if you are able to come on the trip

yiiiipppeee

At long last the weather has decided to play ball and this trip can go ahead.

The meeting time is 830am on reen pier to load up the gear. The boat is departing
at 900am sharp and will not wait for nobody!
Map is on colin's site.
It is expected there will be loads of
fresh mackerel about for bait. It is hoped to target specimen cod.

[jw]

the cost of the boat to the 40 mile out cod wrecks is 550 for the day. The skipper advises
orange shads 4 or 5 inch fished on about a six foot trace work best

[jw]

ok we have 8 definates, want to keep to a max of 10 so 2 more places
for whoever posts here
