    Report on-board Leaca Rua

    First trip of the year in Kevin’s boat fishing with Alan, Cian, Eamonn and Kevin of course.

    We were fishing at the back of Inishmore. The wind was easterly, very low in the morning and growing in the afternoon.

    We were ready for that day, couldn’t wait. Alan brought some small sandeels and some razorfish mixed with mackerel (Alan’s recipe). I brought around 10 mackerels and some small squids frozen. All type of lures, jig head and feathers were available for a good day.

    We started the day with a drift of one hour, starting at around 20 meters finishing the drift at 50 meters. Colored feathers, baited feathers, jig head, jig head with mackerel were working very well. On this drift we got few Pollocks, the biggest around 6 pound caught by Kevin and one four pound cod, very good start.

    Then we went for another drift, same, few nice Pollocks, the biggest around 7 pound caught by myself and two cods around the three pound.

    Then Kevin spotted a nice ledge on the sounder and decided to anchor on it. A bit of competition was on between Kevin, Alan and my self for the biggest fish. Cian and Eamonn were catching some nice Pollock on the lure when Alan was catching some species: one cuckoo wrasse, some pouting and a nice Bullhuss. We were all hoping for a nice ling, but no luck. Kevin finished the day with an eight pound Pollock. You can imagine the slagging going on. Great day!!
