Ramore head is renoned for cutting people off! :shock: Half way along it there is a slight gully were the concrete has been pored, I think it covers a pipe. Cracking place to fish but you always need to be mindful of the incoming tide. :shock:

A club I know was fishing there last year, There was 3 of them caught out on the head. They just had to sit it out until the tide was low enough to cross it again! Too close for comfort if you ask me.

Good to hear you all got off safely. 8) 8)

*****That's a warning that all anglers that have never fished the head should be aware of***** :shock:

Lucky one there lads.

N&G is spot on with his advice - if you have never fished this mark - don't go too far along below the cliff.

And make sure you know the tides!!!!!!

Who knows? Maybe if you'd carried on fishing, you could have caught the best fish! :lol:

Pleased you got out of that scrape OK. Just shows, no matter how well you think you know a mark, there's always something to surprise you!

Well, there was a point raised there.... The RNLI are there to look out for all of us... Maybe a S.A.I meet dedicated to raising some funds? £5 a Head in, A Prize for Maximum Length, All Proceeds to the Coastguard... Only a Thought.... Possibly one for a North South?

Glad you guys got back safe, Hats off to the coastguard.. I make a point of supporting them when i get the chance and pop in to the RNLI shop in Donaghadee and pick up a few bits n bobs. They sell all sorts of stull including cups, pens, stickers and stationery etc. Always worth a look.

That is a great idea :idea: 8)

Pick a venue and a time of year when there is likely to be a REALLY big turnout, all proceeds to a very good cause.

Glad to hear you all got off ok, was getting worried after two hours and still no sign of the lifeboat leaving the area off the headland ( was fishing Portrush Harbour wall )

Hope that is a reminder to all of us that the sea is not to be taken lightly.

This could so easily have ended very differently had it not been for the actions of the coastguard and the R.N.L.I.

Or - how about EVENTS :idea: :?:

Lets face it, it is unrealistic to expect people to travel the length of the country to a single location so how about regional events? That way there is a better chance of getting it better supported and at the end of the day, it's the R.N.L.I. that will benefit most if we get a good turnout.

Any thoughts?
