pollock

[hibbdogg]

are pollock around our coast in the north east all year or do they migrate what type of ground do they like and any decent marks up here? cheers lads

[Charlie_Thompson]

Good question

[Charlie_Thompson]

I reckon there\'s more off our coast than we think but the marks that would produce probably don\'t get fished a lot over the warmer months. A thought like. There\'s not that many off the wrecks in sunmmer though so maybe they are a bit few and far between. Hope this helps

St Abbs to Eyemouth, Dunstanburgh Castle, whitley Pipe, during the summer. pollock now getting more numerous all along our coast especially from the piers. Pollock have turned up from many marks mainly by accident. some nice ones have to 8lb have turned up taken by anglers who have used the right tactics from many rock marks.

Oops answered my own question sorry. Seasonal, no idea mate

[Charlie_Thompson]

relatively rare though Alan wouldn\'t you say?

[big_sean]

charlie there are tons on the wrecks but we dont fish for them and we spook them with big silly pirks
if you got all the guys on a boat to go over using light tackle and leads using gills and shads then you would see a lot of pollock but you always get one that wants to pirk and that spooks them
read this thread charlie and you will see where i am coming from

Only rare when you dont use the correct tactics as big sean says, there are more pollock out there than you think both shore and boat

[Chippy]

I often wonder whether there are any good conger marks in the North East, I know Craster throws a few up but I guess that these too aren\'t targeted very often.

[petepj]

believe it or not there is conger in the river blyth, had 2 strappys from there,best place for them in the harbour is down next to the harbour masters office lobbing into the harbour side, but make sure you only lob it out about 20 yds as there is a lip which the conger hide under.the 2 i had from there were only about 8 -9 lb,even though they were small they put up a hell of a fight as soon as they get on top of the water.
would love to get a decent 1 from the shore.

Your right on there sean. Usually fish for pollock when i,m visiting the relatives on the south coast. everyone uses light tackle and redgills or flying collar rigs. always get loads of pollock

Regarding Conger, I was fishing Cullernose one day with my mate when my rod tip just bent over slowly, then pulled the rod straight out of the rest. When I grabbed hold, line was trickiling off my reel, but could I hell stop it. This went on for a good few minutes until whatever it was eventually bit me off.

The only things that makes me think against it being a seal is that the line was literally trickling off my reel, and that we\'d never seen a seal all day.
