Great posting Alan. :wink:

Also great photo's too. Cracking sea trout, that's a few now I've heard of being caught from the Antrim coast recently.

Ballycastle is starting to come good, we had a club comp there recently and I won it with 1 dog! :shock: That evening was a long 5 hours fishing. :oops:
I must give it a go again soon.

you don't need any distance 50 or 60 yards will do we were fishing to the right hand side of the rock at the beach.
