I like the fact that you were being very open with your information an named a Beach you fished and then took the time to let everyone else know how you got on, so I said I'd add to it !!!

People: Myself and Gary.

Duration: 4 hours(6 to 10)

Tide: On the up (Full at approx 10)

Weather: Good

Bait: Black Lug Mac,Sandeel & Crab.

Rigs: 2 Hook Flappers

Results: Plaice , Flounder, Rockling, Whiting, Pollack



Report:
We fished Ballymoney on Wednesday the 21st March. Evening / Night session on a rising tide.Fishing was not bad but what was caught was small. The first hour was slow with just a few whiting taking mac baits. Gary then caught a Pollack, smallish in size but a break from the whiting. A flounder each about 9ish and during quick flurry as we were packing up Gary got a rockling and I got a plaice that took black lug tipped with mac. Not too bad but as I said, all small.
