we have noticed that the Pollack are taking frozen sandeel and mackerel strip with confidence but only "pulling the tails" of jelly worms with few hookups -

the summer species are seemingly surging north to portpatrick and the north channel
on Thursday we had 30 herring and 7 mackerel a solo codling but also coalies,gurnard,haddock another scorpion fish and some Pollack upto 4.5lb from the weeds at the harbour entrance....so far this season,the ground at the harbour is the place producing the goods,provided you can avoid the lobster pot buoys!!
Friday and Saturday.....too windy
Sunday saw beechwood SAC join me and we had around 30 mackerel and 1 herring......we also caught coalies ,plaice,gurnard and lots of small haddock and codling(8-10") with a few keepers thrown in.....Pollack failed to show in the weeds

Report on-board Size Matters
During the last three weeks we have only managed to get out seven times, due to the strong west and north west winds. When we have got out the fishing has been very good, lots of cod to 5lb 6oz, rays to 8lb, smoothhound to 14lb 8oz, bullhuss to 10lb, dabs, flounder, gurnard, dogfish and a few pack tope. The best day we had was just in the Mersey we totalled 53 codling from 2lb 8oz to 5lb 6oz and 17 rays to 8lb. Not bad for the end of May, I would be very happy with this in the winter months. The smoothound fishing on the inshore banks has been very good, this year the average size is 6lb to 7lb. That's much better than previous years where they have been in the 3lb to 5lb bracket. One day last week we landed four double figure smoothhound in the last few hours of the trip, we didn't get one under 7lb.

Report on-board Dawn Venture
we had a quick 3 hrs out this morning before the wind got up and we caught whiting haddock to 2lb and a lone codling at 2lb as well as a 3.5lb Pollack out of the weeds in the harbour entrance....the Pollack seem well established close in tho a bit small(largest 4.5lb)....just need the sandeels to arrive and the larger specimens will surely follow....water clarity remains good
