| looe 28/1/12 on the swallow well it was my first trip of the year down to polperro, so as always booked trip out with with murry on the swallow. planned targets were cod ,pollock, haddock, ling, and whiting. so we started on the pollock, but it was a no show. but at least the seal was having a good time  so next was a try for whiting and haddock with baited feathers. but all i got was loads of whiting which normally id be very happy with but i wanted a fresh haddock for dinner.....doh. on the plus side we got loads of mackerel .....a first for me , mackerel in january .........its got to be a joke, but no. next the tide eased and we moved and tried for a ling, hokkie's loaded with half a mackerel per hook. come-on you toothy bastards...lol and we waited and waited........... then ding dong, 4 of us in at once. mine was a baby @ 6lb compared to the other 3 all around the 15lb mark. back down and another ling was quick to munch my mackerel and this was a more respectable 11lb, then just before we were going to move i had another of about 15lb.  as the tide picked up we tried again for a pollock but no pollock were to show. so on the way back we tried to get some more whiting and try for a haddock......................it was pout city...lol then my first ever haddock, only 2lb ish  but god it tasted great  cheers john __________________ http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...xt80382370.gif     |

| Re: looe 28/1/12 on the swallow Spot on John. Never caught a haddock but had ling over 25lb on the wrecks .. dead jealous you were out on the boat and not surprised really at the lack of pollack .. it's always hit and miss until mid march as most skippers are still exploring the wrecks looking for them . might be worth adding your haddock for forum record mate. not sure what it currently stands at  __________________ Shore Species 2012: Dab-Flounder-Herring-L.S.Dogfish-Pouting-Shore Rockling-5 Bearded Rockling-Small Eyed Ray-Turbot-Whiting |
