Daylight fishing isn't great at the moment mate, even night's arn't that great it's just the time of year. There are pollock showing up on the Antrim coast from Larne up so why not try some of the rock marks at night.

Fair play for making the effort lads. Hope ye get rewarded for it soon. That kind of dedication has to pay off sooner or later.

Thanks lads your replies make me feel better. Sometimes you feel everyone else is catching, so why me with another blank. Theres always next week

I don't think it's a case that everyone else is catching all the time. Most people just don't report blanks. I've had plenty of them over the last few weeks and so have most of the lads i've been talking to. Things will pick up soon with spring in full swing now.
