Rathlin Island spots?

#1 Post by davejh »

hi guys,

haven't posted in a good while. myself and a few buddies are planning a trip over to Rathlin island pretty soon, a first for us all. I was wondering does anyone know of any good spots along the island? what kind of fish we can expect ( if we are lucky) and if anyone knows of any good places to set up camp ( apart from behind the bar )

thank you

any help would be much appreciated!

thanks

dave

Well Dave, hows things? It sure has been a while since your last post you ejit. Pity I'm up to my eyes in revision or I'd have headed out wi ya's. If it goes well for you lads my exams finish in 3 weeks.

I found out a bit of info for you but would be better to hear from someone who has fished it mate.

Hope you get the info you need and the weather is gd for ya next week :D

have seen a few flatties swimming round at the end of the old harbour pier (past the pub) although i think that wee harbour has a head of the hungaryest crabs in the world! have head that good pollack can be caught off the rocks at the souther end of the island (Rue Point) although its a bit of a trek
