Alhoy 0 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 nice one alhoy,,are the sand eals a good bait for pollock?scotty when is the best time for mackeral? mackerel usually come into the bay in a couple of months.....try freelining the sandeel....usual catch the biggest pollock this way...best take sandeels in a wide mouthed flask..........better known as a 'soup flask'..that way will stay frozen till needed...have heard theres been a few bass...plaice caught along the beaches before you get to the Mull.....when going through Ardwell.' on the way to the mull....pop into the place that sells boats/dingy's.... they usually have up to date info on the fishing in that area.........hope this helps..
