holly jo, reen pier, 30/1/11

#1 Post by jw »

People: bob, bait all, brian duggan and jw

Duration: 0800-2000

Tide: suitably benign

Weather: early stage hypothermia

Bait: fresh herring

Rigs: shads, flowing traces, muppets

Results: herring, lots of octopus, whiting, hake, ling and pollack

Report: We caught lots of herring close to the rocks for fresh bait, apparently,
they were mixed 50/50 with mackerel on the saturday.
We headed quite a long way out to marks not usually fished by anglers.
Fionn caught a 7lb hake, there is a proliferation of octopi, must be the mild winters caused
by global warming. On the last wreck we fished there were plenty of ling, and i managed to
catch a specimen pollack 14lb 12oz on an orange shad :-)
