Hi all. i'm going out fishing next tuesday on my local stone jetty. Im going for everything, wrasse,blennies,rockling, mackeral (if their about!) small bass and pollack. people have been catching pollack and bass on feathers while mackeral fishing, so i have tied up a couple of rigs with a white and silver eddie eel on a running ledger, so hopefully the pollack and maybe the bass will take these?? i have never fished or spinned for pollack so any tips would be much appreciated ;D

Why not just try a Dexter Wedge and stick to spinning? This will take bass and pollock aswell as the mackerel.

One of the more enjoyable ways to fish for pollack is to use a small red gill red in colour on a 3ft trace tied to a swivel. Slip a small drilled bullet on to the main line and then tie the trace on. Spin with this at depth just above the bottom

rzaskar, you mentioned a small drilled bullet weight, will a 1oz or 2oz be ok??

should be fine if your fishing a spinning rod fixed spool reel.if you use heavier rods you may have to increase your lead size to get any distance.try jelly worms as well and give thewiggle fin discs a go.they add more movement to redgills and jelly lures.try float fishing as well,close in as well as further out,old shrimp rigs that have just the hooks left are pretty good with a touch of mackeral on for bait.

my advice would be to use small shrimp hocki, for the last 2years they have been deadly.

For the blennies etc use hooks below a size for preferably in a short shank. I found the tail ends of ragworm and crabs legs work well. You'll get scorion fish etc like that too as well as mini wrasse.

Thank you all for the tips, well i didn't catch anything unfortunately i tried spinning which i had a hit on but never came back i tried feathering for mackies aswell but nothing around at all, but no one on there was catching i think it may be to do with the tide, it was only small. so im gonna try on a big tide and see what happens then!

you forgot your small shrimp hockis, feathers are out of fashon with the fish these days, next time leave your fethers at home, the shrimps have small hooks but you will be surprised what you can catch with them, good luck'
