Whitehead Prom and Lighthouse

#1 Post by round_ourway »

People: Me & My girlfriend

Duration: 8 hours

Tide: Flood

Weather: Raining very heavy then dried out

Bait: Rag, Mack, Squid

Rigs: Pulley, Clipped Down, Pennel

Results: Couple of nice pollack, Rockling, Wrasse,

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report:

I had intended to fish the cushendun beach with big liam and merv but the rain was crazy and took a decision to stay closer to home in case it stayed all day. I also stayed closer because of an illness in the family.

[Saturday]
Got to whitehead around 9:30am and headed for the prom just out the old persons nursing home. I missed a couple of real thumps and it was to late and what ever was on headed for the kelp. I lost a couple of rigs before putting on a rotten bottom. Again a couple of more thumps, lifted the rod and managed to pull in a 2 1/2lb pollack. real beauty.
I persuaded my girlfriend to come along and she caught her first pollack

[Sunday]
I headed to the lighthouse to use the rest of my rag and mackerel. I caught a nice couple of rockling and wrasse but i also lost quite alot of rigs

all in all a great weekend fishing.

No i fished it during the day time. In saying that there really wasnt much happening around 2pm. It looks like it could really throw up some crackers. I ground bait it well before hand though.

Some big mullet were in very close. The only reason i say they were mullet is because they were in pack of 2 or 3.
