not pike..... but they like a live bait

The last photo shows a large mackerel taken on the surface by a big Pollock estimated about 15lb...  which went back because the wife said it was looking at her when we got it aboard the boat ...lucky Pollock  
all the fish were taken on either sand eel or mackerel live baits

cant wait to get back out on the sea , and into the big bass , Pollock and cod......roll on summer
that's if we are not still in lockdown .......
