Re: ballycastle beach
just checked the tides and as far as i can see low water is at 10.45am and high tide is at 16.30, 
so if there's no objection's i was thinking about be there about mid-day and catching the rising tide
and fishing through till it drops off again till about 6 or 7 . as i said i've never fished here so dont know
if would be better day or night. if anyone has any different idea's let me know
was thinking maybe town side?????

Re: ballycastle beach
might be early on it, daylight might produce flounder and turbot on the deeper parts of the beach, darkness should throw a few dogs into the equation though might still be early, if the surf is on it forget the dogs though..
