We started out side Dingle Harbour hoping to pick up a few mackarel for bait but there was nothing doing so we moved west to Slea Head.
Here we found a shoal of Mackarel in mid water about 20 fathoms, they were huge several were over 1 pound weight. Having caught about 50/60 we moved off shore for cod & pollack. The pollack were small Coley we threw most back and then we came upom squid they were a good size, we kept some for dinner some others we used for bait. With the squid we caught a 3 lb bluemouth a few ling and some good pollack. The day was so calm and sunny some of the guys had to put sun cream on. We ended up with about 80 kgs of fish and a pleasant steam home to dingle Pier.
Next weekend is the Bank Holiday so I’m looking foreward to great days on the water, forecast is good with light winds.
Rory.
