all fish taken on sandeel fished along the bottom, and the pollock taken on floatfished sandeel.
along the harbour wall at tea timeish every night was about 15 mullet upto 5lb feeding on scraps. tried everything to tempt them, but they wouldnt have it.
also along the harbour is bags of fish on a night time. The fisherman go out for 10days solid every morning dredge the bottom for oysters and come back every night. leaving bags of red gurnard lying along the port, each bag must weigh a load..as they had to drag them along, they then return to the "isle of man" for 4 days. What a life, i would find it really boring.
