I've just got back into sea-fishing after 20 years of fly-fishing for trout.
What are the prospects for some good fishing near Belfast over the next 6 months (or should I get my Pike gear dusted down?).

						If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

Re: Autumn/Winter Fishing near Belfast
Oh keep fishing it, There are fish about and as Ronald says, it dies off a bit. My worst 2 months are feb and march each year, but i keep at it and usually catch something. Plenty of places to fish also, dont just stick to the known places. I tried a new spot down past Portavogie on sat, and even though i blanked it, it has great potential. So get out there and just move about and enjoy the fishing.

Re: Autumn/Winter Fishing near Belfast
Looks like the Dee  is producing fish a the moment fella, get yourself down there and check it out. Red bay is also a good choice with only 50 minutes up the road

I'm planning to keep plugging away at the Dee. We've done well there over the Summer.
Do the codling get to any sort of size.
