well done man. :D :D its good to see the mack's have turned up, if your fishing the rocks at the golf course then stick with feathers but the float is deadly in the harbour

Good to hear there is a few macks around Ardglass. Like Minty says I fish the golfcourse rocks, deep water. I usually fish the sliding float setup and set it for a good thirty foot using ragworm. On a good day spinning can also be deadly. I'm sure feathers would work well, I'm just not keen on fishing that way.
