My dear ol' departed Dad, being a Fanadman, used to tell me of Sea-Trout being caught near the Chapel in Tamney.

Of course, that was about 50 years ago or more and i very much doubt if they SWFF'ed! :lol:

Why not try next door in the bottom of the Sheephaven?

Around about Doe Castle up to the pier below Ards Friary.

Watch yourself on the incoming tide, it's fast and lethal if you get engrossed out on the sand.
