The Session: This was just a short session to see if any Pollock were around. Using a float setup at a depth of around 7ft and cast it about 20 - 30 feet out. I had four bites and caught three fish. I also threw out a prawn/crab trap with a mackerel head in the pouch. Near the end of the session I pulled it up and had caught two rockling (which wouldn't stay still long enough for a decent photo for a positive id) and a 3 inch crab.
