A few old reports from earlier in the year to add some content to the forum

Kayak(s): OK Big Game

Duration:10.30-18.00

Tide: lw @ 13:00

Weather: not what was forecast ..

Bait: b0ogie flies

Rigs: n/a

Results: 20 odd pollock 3-9lb

Report: with light winds forecast I drove to my Co Down pollock mark
the wind wasnt as light as it was supposed to be, and the sea looked quite lumpy .no matter .I launched anyway and paddled to the mark ..

I was fishing in 34 feet of water , so a count of 30 was necessary to allow the fly to hit the deck , before stripping

1st fish was the best fish of the day, a tad over 9lb . Had to use the net to get him in Very Happy

The excellent sport continued until lw .. then died , So I paddled into shore and made some grub,... had a smoke or too and headed out again
