Take a few days off from work and decided to head to Co. Donegal for a long weekend with my other half. I have to say its a stunning and perfect playground for a sea angler. Beautiful hills and mountains and between them lots small lakes witch target brown trout. We went to the rocks spinning for some pollack. 120mm Fiish Black Minnows does the business as usual, this lure is originally designed for sea fishing, smaller lighter versions specially for shore fishing, so impressed they work very well.
You could buy them allready rigged or buy by parts. Comes with various colours, sizes, and different heads for different fishing technics. For pollack i used the "drop and sink" technic, the shore head designed for this. Reel with medium speed, lift the rod up a bit slowly and drop back a bit faster, the fish often hit the lure when its falling down, the pedal tail makes super vibrations on the way back. The off shore head work same but used from the boats it deeper water to sink a lure faster to the deep, very succesfull for big pollack and seabass. Also from the same company comes out the new Fiish Crazy Sandeel, witch is the big gun for the big boys.

This lure is imitation of the real sand eels perfectly, the action in the water the way they swimms and also the special flash comes tough brilliantly, big pollack cant resist. I could see in real how sand eels looks compare to the Crazy Sandeel, because i hooked quiet a big one. In summer time when the sand eels comes in to the bays the fish follows them , this is mostly the natural bait fish what they feeding on.
This is the sand eel what i cought
And take a look on the CrazySandeels, the guys does quiet a brilliant job to create the same plastic lure.
I had an absolutly brilliant weekend on the rocks in Donegal, discover a little bit of the Atlantic Ocean. Fresh air, breath taking sunsets, stunning view of mountains rivers and lakes. Beautiful fish super sport, what else could i wish more.
