Sam's 6 kilo pollack of 2006


Bettered by his 7 kilo pollack of 2007

In Brittany, Pollack are one of the most popular line-caught sea fish, especially when you consider it is on average one of largest line-caught coastal species with big 'tasty' specimen fish succumbing to those anglers who understand their behaviour. To catch big pollack it is best to fish from a boat. Successful tactics include drifting over rock piles and wrecks with perks (spoons), large rubber twister tail grubs, lead-headed soft baitfish imitations and other naturalistic lures (see pic at bottome of page).


Paul catches a beauty of a pollack

Fishing with bait can also be productive as well with cut mackerel and fresh locally-picked shellfish from the beach being popular morsels for pollack. On a pollack fishing trip you can also catch cod, ling, gurnard, myriad of wrasse, and other species. Cooked fresh or smoked, pollack is a delicious and sustainable alternative to other sea fish species which are experiencing commercial fishing pressures.
