Carrick Harbour..nice to see it

#1 Post by winter36 »

Just back from a walk down the harbour (carrick)
Total Bedlam..lol
the kids are lethal, if you dont get a weight in the head, your bound to get a hook in the mouth..lol

no catch except crab,,, but they are all having fun, id say theres about 20 anglers on the harbour at the moment....

nice to see it though,, plenty of youngsters with the angling bug, and the dads pretending to know what they are doing....

man i've given up on carrickfergus as a mark, fished there many times and always drew a blank, it's not even that good any more for the mack in summer. this wee mark has just gradually got worse over the last 5-6 years, don't know why but it just has
