Duration: Afternoon
Tide: Drop!
Weather: Showery
Bait: Ragworm
Rigs: 2 up/1up 1 Down
Results: 11 Flounder, 2 Dab, 3 Ballan Wrasse, 1 GS Wrasse, 1 Codling
Report:
Went to Portrush harbour for the day, started off down near the tackle shop where I got a small codling and a gs Wrasse..
after about 20 minutes I moved to the end of the pier, where I started picking up lots of small flats, Hooked a Flounder and it swam into the weeds, and a Ballan took the top snood.... think it's the weirdest double I've ever had.
Fished for Ballans in the weed and managed another 2, Happy days.
After this I fancied something bigger and moved round to the blue pool... Big mistake. No fish.
Great afternoon up the coast. Loved it!
