Weather:sw wind rain and more wind

Bait:sandeel and lug

Rigs:pulleys

Results:NEIL: coallie, ME: CRAB :twisted:




Report:

me and neil decided to head out for another session the weather was terrible but i wanted to get out cause the likelyhood of me gettin out next month is slim due to work and other things but neway. we had a few marks in mind but ballintoy was shelterd so we decided to head there.

i was mad lookin a fish but unfortunitly just when the light faded the bro caught a coallie and i caught a crab. but thats the joys of fishing. :D :D :D

im looking forward to April so i can hit the sea again and hopefully be more successful.

Know the feeling mate. Me and my mate Nial were in Ballintoy a couple of Saturday's ago on the exact same mark and blanked :evil: Totally disheartening when you look forward the whole week to fishing a supposedly good deep water mark :cry:

We moved on to White Rocks which was also a complete waste of bait. Better luck in Waterfoot lately though, Nial will be posting a report shortly I imagine as he had a great night last night :D

Better luck next time, hope its not too long before we see you out again.

Stick with it but give Ballintoy a miss (dead loss). You're on the right track with the mark type. I'm using 2/0 hooks with big baits on Boom Pennel rigs. Its working for me at the minute.

Can't wait 'til springtime again but at least its not as baltic as last year :D

Was going to give the back wall of Portrush harbour a go as it should be into deep water but i'm preparing myself for tackle loss as i'm told it can be weedy. I make my own rigs so i'll be using the most basic stuff I can to minimise snags.

keep the faith,
