myself and darren
5 hours
high and rough!
dull and showery

rag n mac

float and spinning

5 small coalies

our usual mark was very dangerous today with very rough seas, so we headed for the relative safety of ballintoy instead.
that turned out to be a mistake!
we had 5 small coalies between us 4 on the float with rag n mac and i had one on the spinner{dexter wedge).
we left at 7 oclock because the fishing and weather was terrible. there was nothing picture worthy!

At least you got a few, might have been more of a mistake to go to the usual mark in rough weather

i always wear a floatation jacket but you cant take safety for granted. at least we didnt blank!

hello davy, did you arrive or leave around 5:30/6 ish? it was a rough day! we tried 5oz grippers on the bottom and they wouldnt hold, we tried the float for a few wrasse aswell but no luck, i had a good fish follow my lure in only to turn at the last minute! would have improved the day but hey ho thats life!

Cheers mate

My PB wrasse was 4lb 1oz but i`ve broke that 4 times in 4 trips

with 27 other wrasse between 3lb-3lb 14oz and loads of smaller one`s

None from the Co Down coast tho...
2.5lb`s a cracking wrasse for the Dee

but Bangor has bigger

No i was leaving as that bloke arrived...Think he`d been fishing Ballycastle first!!
I arrived while you were down on the low rocks...

I was very disapointed with Balintoy,there should`ve been a few wrasse about

they havent been about much lately, we have been down the last few saturdays, i was hoping to catch some because my mate in the yellow coat is very new to fishing so a thought a new species would keep his interest! to be fair though ballintoy in general hasnt fished well. i remember going there regularly with my da 10/12 years ago and it was great.

Davy,

Without giving too many secrets away, I assume you fish close in off the back of the pier for the wrasse?
