Re: Deep Spinning for Pollack in March?
Drew,
I wouldnt have thought so? Ive had a few on deep slow spinners and if anything a jellyworm could be better if you get it right down there. I tend to fish spinners as they are handy (weight in the lure, no added weight needed)but they are expensive and I lose 2 or 3 nearly every time I go out.
The fish are few at present where I fish, had quite a few blanks but each fish is greatly appreciated when theyre scarce. Give it a bash, why not?

Yeah you got 2 fine fish, think I recognise the mark. Ended up out in the boat fishing spinner and fly for pollack with 2 friends on Sunday. Got about 20 small coley between us and one of the other boys got the only pollack, a 1lb 6oz fish, at least we got 1 pollack, the day grew nastier as it went on, I might put up a wee report cos the fish is a lovely pale gold/green, almost turquoise, lovely colour. It had small sandeel in the gut, good to see sandeel appearing in their diets, summer on its way.

That'll be the serious predatory instinct kicking in again... I'm sure the Sandeel being around will get them up and feeding....
