Old bawn 4/11/09
People:Me
Duration:3 till 7:30
Tide:Rising
Weather:westerly wind showers at fist clering later
Bait:Rag, mack and razor
Rigs:2 and 3 hook flappers and 1 and 2 hook clipped down
Results:Flounders, coalies, poor cod
Report:Ment to go further south but got word the beach was unfishable so i decided to try Old bawn instaed.Heavy rain greated me as i arrived but soon the sun came out and with the shelter of the dunes it was quite comfortable fishing.First fish was a coalie and a few more followed and then the flatties came on the feed ranging in size from 26cm to 30cm, best bait was rag tipped with mac.As the tide pushed in so did the weed but still picked up a few more fish including a poor cod.With no sign of any bass and the wind getting up i decided to call it a day and go home for dinner.

Crap was thinking of fishing it Saturday night! Still working on the excuse to leave my sisters Christening early though
Might head a little further south so.

Re: Old bawn 4/11/09
well done for braving the elements and getting a few fish sod
our beach marks on the antrim coast are coming down with 3 inch whiting at the moment
we've had to scale up the hook size to 2/0 in a vain attempt at avoiding these suicidal wee chaps.
but on the plus side there's gotta be bigger fish out there feeding on them
