#1 Post by billy the fish »

Report:
We fished a tempting looking mark near Glenarm. We have passed this rocky outcrop a few times and had to try it. Bit of a climb down to mark, but we made it. We caught doggies early on, and damn all else. We decided to move after high tide, and stopped for a session at black arch......... and we caught doggies :evil: I got a tip from another forum member for a mark further up the coastline... must try it.

Billy,

Fair play to you for trying a new mark.

You never know, it might be an absolute cracker next time you try it.

Always good to be catching even if it is dogs. Try the beach at Ballygally it can throw up some good fish and its easy fishing

As you lads say, a humble doggie is better than a blank. And yeah, must get hold of worm bait for next trip.
