Early season boat trip

Postby keymcg » Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:40 am

I got the chance Sunday to try a few hours fishing with the lads from Killybegs Fishing Trips. A quick stop for mackerel on the way out and first drop we were straight into the Pollack and it was non stop action for the session with the skipper giving a master class in Pollack fishing with lead heads. Some fine fish boated with the best of them tipping the scale at 16 pound. A pb for me and one I cant see me beating for a while.Image
