Yes I'm no expert just a holiday charter and was mostly pollack indeed, we were just drifting , we were all slowly cranking but only occasional hits. In 4 hours only half a dozen fish came over, I hadn't considered the drift speed variable plus the retrieve makes for a fast retrieve but then only realized it when I was too slow and lost the tackle on the reef, It wasn't clear how high the reef was, lots of variables to consider but when I did drop the speed to almost a crawl I got a decent fish. It's a tricky thing to master I feel

[QUOTE="Minstrelblue, post: 430834, member: 492"] Yes I'm no expert just a holiday charter and was mostly pollack indeed, we were just drifting , we were all slowly cranking but only occasional hits.
