All we Picked up round Muck was a Load of Pollack and Coalies...

Fished the Deeper banks, think Davy got a whiting, Bit Crap.

For the Best Cod Sport I've Found I'd recommend outside the Bar Mouth at Portaferry...

Portaferry Village has a couple of slips, Don't go out in anything more tham a 5mph Breeze, The 'Bar Mouth' is Ultra, Ultra Dangerous....

When you get out of the Lough Head North, Drift the Broken Ground about a Mile off the Caravan Site.
