Boat marks/species reachable from Bangor Marina, Co Down
Boat marks/species reachable from Bangor Marina, Co Down
New to this, and have a 18ft boat in the marina. What type of species could i get,and where. Heard it's good near the copelands, and ballylumford direction?
the copeland islands for pollack the rig (near D'Dee)for good general mixed fishing. the maidens near larne a bit of a steam but excellent for wrasse/pollack. the gobbins cliffs err more pollack there are a few good ray marks mid lough but those that know them tend to keep quiet about them. oh! you will get mackeral just about any where and herring in season at blackhead. but i'm sure that the county down expertsK2 and others will do better than this :!:

would agree with squalus the fishing was dire this year have fished these marks for 30 years [10 years skippering club boats] never seen it as bad. only consolation is that I know the ray marks and we get some sport [we being myself and some mates].may sound selfish keeping these marks to myself but have seen boxes of ray dumped on the shore .we return all ray we catch and until i know a person will respect that i;ll not divulge the marks [except for K2 extreme who was helpful with marks lately]
