Some great fish caught. Often wondered how best to fish a deep fast running straight like that. Is that channel between I and J in the Inner Hebrides ?
@@OnlyananglerThought it looked familiar. Haven’t been there since I got into sea fishing (I was there for the whisky !) but often thought that water would be good for Pollack. Fast flow though but if they are in close then not so much of problem. I tried fly fishing a few of the lochs but too damned windy !!! Good and helpful vid. Cheers.
I think you were losing some fish because you were setting the hook. Sounds counterintuitive but just keep reeling when you feel them knocking and theyll swallow that eel whole! This works better as pollock suck their food in rather than biting it. Youll lose very few doing this.
I use to catch pollack or cuddies off Port Askaig when i was a kid...rotten makerel from the creel bins...stinky...i also fell in...still had my fish...
Nice catch

Yeah I totally get that an did think that as well, hard to fight instinct 😂
love Pollack fishing..the big ones put Bass to shame..no thrashing about on the surface just a missile heading for the rocks and cabbage lol
Miles stronger then a bass, can’t wait to get back out after them.
yeah..awesome fish..been destroyed by some big ones round Far Leesons..went home with a smile on my face 🙂
@@neilmitchell9767 I’ve got a few very similar Story’s from round there are well, make a boy out of you the big ones
had some cracking fish round there..probably my favourite mark in Cumbria
@@neilmitchell9767 got to be up there with some of the best marks, if you go south where’s the next proper rock mark ? North wales at a guess ?
Nice fishing there 👍👍 Pollock hit hard , are those the non weighted jelly eels
Sorry for the late reply, they are jelly baitfish with weighted jig heads! Yeah pollock are great fun!

Really good spot for pollack fishing 🎣
Cracking video mate. Quick question can you feel the bites okay with weight being higher up ??
Thanks, yea you can feel the bites fairly well. Obviously you catch the bottom a bit so any resistance I treat as a fish usually.
Hi mate we’re was that mark you were fishing?
