Cat Rock

Give Cat Rock in Howth a go during the summer. I've seen 4lb+ pollack caught from here. Check out the Dublin mark list for more info on it. Try the new storm casting shads instead of jellyworms.

Spinning for pollack!

#4 Post by Neil »

I have successfully spun for Pollack from he Forty Foot, "Alby's Rock" to he left of Scotsmans Bay, the rocks the other side of Bullock Habour, Sorrento Point, the clothing optional bathing place round the corner and Killiney bay. I usually use an Eddystone eel, but have had success with a lead head/jelly worm. Even better, spinning with a frozen sandeel, rigged like an Eddy eel.

Many were very small.

Instead of using a jelly worm on a leadhead try replacing the jelly worm with a big king Rag on the lead head . As for places Howth head produces good pollack and wrasse fishing during the summer .
