dd

Report:Brought the partners for a bit of beach session and watched them gives us a bit of flaking, well Ronald got a whoppin anyhow

Fishing was superb with bites right from the off, indeed when the tide started to flood it was a case of double shots every 6 or 7 minutes. I'd never really had flounder fishing like it, place seemed carpeted in them no, great size though although maybe four over the 30cm mark. Most were around 23cm with plenty less than 20cm, they came at all ranges too from right under the rod tip to out beyond the small breakers. Great nights fishing on a lovely beach.

Lovely 5 bearded fell to Ronalds partner Helen and indeed she took the two codling too. I didn't put up the beach name but if any of the regular NI forum lads want it then just drop us a pm

cracking fishing pete ronald told us all about your session on sunday and we've been busting to get out to the same spot to give it a go and get my young lad his first ever flattie. but this weather is not for playing ball it's been blowing a gale every day since you last fished it i'll just have to keep an eye on the forecast and hope for better weather

Thanks lads, twas good sport alright. Alan you'll have no bother getting him sorted out with a few flats there, it was my own missus first flattie too and i think she ended with 8 or 9 by the finish.

I live in County Antrim but do not know where 'Antrim Beach' is. I must be stupid! Any pointers (as in directions not great whites!)?

[rab01]

There is no Antrim Beach, they just aren't naming what beach on the Antrim coast it is. Not suprised with fishing like that, well done.

[Al and Jordan]
