Re: RATHLIN ISLAND 3rd 4th JUNE
nice one lads. we've always intended on fishing rathlin but never got 2 days of decent weather forecast when we've been free
. i did a bit of research on it last year and got some good info on decent pollck marks off the end of rue point. a bit of a trek i know, but john was showing me some of the pics of the 5lb+ pollack they had from there in 2009. so it would be well worth the hike

Re: RATHLIN ISLAND 3rd 4th JUNE
great report fagan, as corbyeire says, nice to see a report from there.
hey, im confident that if you ask one of the locals to transport yous to wherever yous want to go on the island (for a few quid petrol money...) then im sure they would be happy to do so if possible. throw all the gear on the back of a tractor or sumthin. no prob, for sure.
would like a trip over myself too. some nice trout fishin over there too i heard.
cheers

Re: RATHLIN ISLAND 3rd 4th JUNE
thanks chuck, its a great spot too fish. u should def take a trip, its well worth it. there is a couple of trout lakes alright and i heard there is good sized trout being caught out of them. i got a lift the first time i was over a good couple of years back but there was nobody about this time i asked in the pub and they said there was no locals about so we just hiked on. hopefully get a lift next time.chuckaroo wrote:great report fagan, as corbyeire says, nice to see a report from there.

Re: RATHLIN ISLAND 3rd 4th JUNE
dave i seen a chart in the pub on the island but never read. ill def read it the next time im over to see what depth the back of the island is. i wonder would there be a chance at tope.weedave wrote:fagan wrote:no bother mate, never new you could fish the north of the island i always thought it was high cliffs but as u can see in the pics u can get down below them, thanks mate!!!SlackLiner wrote:No worries mate! It is a bit of a hike to the north side but it's well worth it and if you camp in church bay its a lot closer. Here's a few pics from my last trip..
i'm the same boss - never knew that at all or i'd be over like a shot - have you ever seen the admiralty charts for the back of the island, there are some seriously deeps waters out there.
