After last nights great trip I could not wait to get back out again.

Set off about 5ish and was fishing by 5:30 same setup as last night. Within a couple of mins had my first fish a pouting safely returned 15mins later this was followed by a whiting I was going to use it as live bait but made the mistake of not having a rig ready and by the time I had tide one up the fish had died .

I rebaited with a piece of mackerel I got a typical whiting bite decided to finish my smoke before reeling it in, then suddenly the rod went nuts and almost flew all over on the railings I grabbed the rod and felt a fish fighting like mad at first thinking it may have been a small conger as the fish was so strong. It surfaced and i knew instantly what the fish was my first ever pollack. This was it I was happy and very very luck as when I landed the fish I noticed that it had a whiting in its mouth basically I had hooked a whiting and the pollack decided it was easy food and hooked itself.

Joiner turned up about 30 mins later and showed me how to do it pulling in 2 pollock I will let him tell you about that in his report. I received a few small knocks and lost what would have easily been the biggest fish of the night I suspect cod. The pollack i caught turned out to be the biggest of the night and our guesstimate is the fish is about just shy of 5lb. Just measured it and it is 24inch

Another fantastic night for me caught my biggest fish of the year and a pollack that I have been trying to get for the last 2 months I also had great company thank you Joiner.
