Ardglass Co.Down 10-05-2009
People:Myself
Duration:9.30am-2pm
Tide:Rising
Weather:Glorious sunshine
Bait:Ragworm
Rigs:Sliding float setup
Results:3 pollock, 1 wrasse, 1 codling
Report:I took the trip to my favourite fishing mark in hope of some big wrasse and pollock but unfortunately all fish bar one of the pollock were small, still good to get out and catch a few fish in lovely sunshine. Maybe leave it a few weeks and get back to this mark as it has produced some decent fish for me in the past.

well done Rab, i used to love fishing Ardglass but have'nt been down that way in ages,
it's good to see fish landed there before the resident seal has a bite at them..

There was a great big seal close by all morning Minty!! But fortunately he never got to any of my fish. Actually the most interesting thing of the day was for a great big seal to come to the surface with an Octopus wrapped round his head!! He seemed to take a few bites at it and then dropped it. You should definately fish this mark again Minty, give it a couple of weeks and the place will be full of fish.

Rab was that down by the golf course? Never fished it before. At least the seals didnt pester you too much.

I have to say Fergal, I never tried for the Mackerel. I'm sure you'd have a great chance for a few though.
