People: myself and my mate alan

Duration: about 9 hours

Tide: coming in and going out

Weather:heavy showers, sunshine, getting windy

Bait:rag worm, mackerel, squid

Rigs:float fishing, single hook

Results: lots of the usual size pollack, one small dog fish, a rockling, and a couple of wrasse, 1 large pollack @ 7lb

Report:went with my mate alan, it was my fist time sea fishing in years. got onto the point of pans rock, fished on the bottom with rag, and mackerel, but got nothing. plenty of fish were caught on the float, then came the biggy, a 7lb pollack on the rag worm.
not sure what else to tell, i am new to this

well done lads,sounds like a cracking session :P and a 7 lbs pollock :shock: :shock: :shock: knocks my personal best pollock into obscureity. we usually fish the beach at the golf course, but where's pans rock?????? sounds like it would be worth a trip up from belfast :wink: :wink: did you get the big pollock on the float? and again lads, well done! i'm guessing you might just give the sea fishing malarky another go :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

pans rock is at the right hand end of the beach, accessed by a wooden foot bridge, as the tide rises by 1 meter, the rock doesnt get submerged. takes just under an hour to get there rom belfast and yes, got the 7lb'er floating with rag worm, about 8 - 10 feet deep
