cushendun beach 14th april.
venue_cushendun people_me and the better half. Duration_12noon to 18.00pm bait_rag,squid,mack,lug,bluey,smelts,sandeel. Result_ 1plaice,1whittn report- not much to say really got to the mark just comin up on noon got set up straight away and lines in the water for just after noon.it was slow to say the least had a few bites here and there but came to nothing.so i decided to get the barbacue light and have some burgers and hotdogs. As it got later in the day the bites started to appear more and i noticed slack line on one rod so reeled in and was welcomed with a nice size plaice(blank saved.) so got the rod baited up and chucked back out as i did with the second one.i tried all kinds of bait cocktails but nothing seemed to be workin. So i decided to pack up and wake up the better half after lyin sleepin all afternoon on the beach lol. So with one rod in and packed up i brought the other rod in which had a nice whittn on it. Not the best trip but it was nice to get out and spend a few hours with the misses. Lol

Re: cushendun beach 14th april.
a couple of mates fished it last week and said they had a few plaice,so i had to get some action for myself.i was meant to fish with alan jordon on sunday but didnt get as the misses smashed her car up so i want her close by so i could keep an eye on her just to be safe.

Re: cushendun beach 14th april.
Well done Bryan
I have put a few hours in on this mark over the past 2 weeks or so and it is not fishing anywhere near its potential, it normally picks up around June.

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
