If it was me heading out to a beach 2nite id hit castlerock for an attempt on bass or up round ballycastle spinning up to dusk then on to bait after dark fresh mackerel should fish better than worms good luck with were ever you hit.

Well done on the nights fishing, so you guys made it home then eventually?. We met this morning, you confirmed with me as to which species of Ray a guy caught the night before. Maybe run into you again sometime. Cheers
