After getting weeded out of my favorite mark yesterday I thought it'd be a good idea to change it up a bit and hit a rock mark in Howth trying for pollock, coalies, mackerel, maybe a bull huss or a codling (probably not at this time of year but who knows). I had my big rod out a good distance with 2 peelers on the pulley rig, while feathering with the 11ft rod, I got 2 small pollock on the feathers then a coalie on the peeler shortly after. This all happening within the first hour of the session! After the coalie I had a few knocks but no hook ups. Plently of snags and lost gear but it was worth it to get something for the table and 2 points for the species hunt!
