White Trout Co.Antrim

#1 Post by chuckaroo »

People: just me

Duration: 3 hours or so

Tide: coming in

Weather: fine

Bait: none

Rigs: fly and spinner

Results: a few fish

Report:
thought i'd give the seatrout another go on Saturday morning. started with the fly (sandeel imitation) and spent a good hour covering an area of water thoroughly, but with no success. also switched to a shrimp imitation (crazy charlie) and fished along the sandy seabed in the hope of a flatty, no joy there either.
having seen no sign of any fish, I switched location opting to fish along a rocky shoreline. tried again with the fly for a while but soon gave up on it, because i wasnt happy with the distance i was getting, and switched to a small spinner on the spinning rod. first fish was a lovely very silver and lean seatrout im guessing about 8oz, was pretty chuffed with him. also got a pretty decent ballan wrasse, which also took the spinner :shock: , and a few small pollack.
a pretty good little session but hopefully a better trout the next time :mrgreen:
a few pics below
cheers
