Report:
I had a few days off work, this week so thought I'd give a few local marks a go that I haven't tried in a while and another mark that was suggested to me by rab from the site(thanks mate).
Day1: Bangor Rock Mark and Dee:
Weather was awful, it was blowing a gale and the rain was depressing, however I wanted to try the mark that Rab put me onto. When I got down there the conditions were steadily getting worse, and to make things worse there was a lot of weed about. I stuck things out for about an hour, only managing a few small Pollock for my efforts, I only set the one rod up on the float so I didn't really give it a good go. Looks to be a great wee spot, one that I will be visiting again soon. I packed all my gear up with the intentions of heading into Bangor to kill a couple of hours before I had to pick herself up from work. When I got down the town the rain was now easing and winds were dying a bit so I thought I'd go give the Dee a rattle for an hour or so and I wasn't let down.
The Dee has been a bit off the boil this year and I have heard mixed reports, however having not fished it this summer I thought I'd give it a go. Floating a whole lug worm within 30seconds of the float being in the water I managed a nice coali over 2lbs, I was well pleased. Went quite for a while so made the drop from the float longer and hit into some wrasse which kept me entertained on the light gear. Managed a few micro pollock and another coali of about a pound. Was happy enough with the short session.


Day 2: I went on a mullet hunt, Haven't got as many as I would have liked this summer so we tried a few marks along the way, tried a spot where there are plenty of mullet, however the average size is not great and this is a known fact. But needless to say after a while I had the beast that I was waiting for

Day 3: Nothing much to report here, tried the mack rocks in Bangor to stock up on some bait for the winter, on float and lures with no joy, tried a mullet mark in the afternoon and again missed bites but no joy. All part of the fun.
