Also have to note the small fish that started playing about in front of us as dusk settled, thought it was a small sea trout.

whats this, r the "dee boys" on tour??? well done lads sounded like good crack!! i myself travel to the antrim coast regulary and the fishing is great but i often wonder do us down boys overlook beach fishing on r own coast? there isn't a stretch along that antrim coast were someone hasn't chucked a bait out, can we say the same about ourselves?? do ballyholme beach, groomsport and millisle not have the potential to hold fish?? i just believe r coast isn't as well fished as it should be.

hey lads sorry i didnt get chatting to you lot.

not sure who i spoke to while packing the car (black 206)???

i arrived a tad late lol about 9.30 ended up fishing well on up the beach and mates kept having problems lol

were ended up with 2 dogs each got the odd possible flattie bite but nothing on the hook

we were using freshly dug Lug (hence the lateness lol), mack, sandeel and mussel in every conciveable combination lol was expecting something other than dogs :(

what did you get the plaice on?

midges were terrible we would'nt venture too far from the fire we built unless it was for more wood lol.
