Rigs: Flowing traces with shads, super grubs, feathers, hokkais.
Results: Loads of Pollock, some coalies.
Report: The Cricket blew a piston or something enginey ! I'm not a mechanical type. So we headed for Magharoarty where Pat had arranged another boat - nice boat it was too. Skipper was a nice bloke too. Stopped for mackerel and then headed to Tory (Toraigh) for a days spinning etc. Loads of nice pollock to about 7 or 8 pounds. Saw Sammy Scotts boat pass and an angler holding a brute of a kelp cod up (show off !!) - very red fish. Was a good day in all, only down side was that when we had filleted and bagged up our fish, Joerg helped himself to an oversized share, stole all the mackerel and left some of us with very little for the pan. Germans eh ! Not content with sun loungers, now they're stealing our fish !! :(
Was a good day in all - my last out on a boat, so a nice way to finish my boat fishing adventures !! Am going to concentrate a bit more on trout and pike.
