Close to Belfast

[P Loughers]

Where would I get a little sport close to Belfast ? Was hoping to target Grey Fort but am unsure of what winter species possible. Any help greatly appreciated.

Depends what sport your after mate - linenhall street might turn something up :lol: :lol:

Seriously though - you could try Carrick Pier or go a bit further to Portmuck - you will get flats, dogs and pouting at either mark.

You can also try Glenarm Breakwater - virtually guaranteed dogs here.

Helens bay no good in winter ok in summer but there are better spots close to belfast.

I also in belfast and if its a few hours and not a full trip i am after i go here.

Bangor pier-- congor small whiting and rockling ( advice from dav and ron)

The dee -- whiting rockling, dogs,coalies, and more ( advice drew )

a bit further up coast brownsbay and islandmagee in general carrick. and even glenarm and ledges.

All close and will fish well on there day and even throw up a suprise.


2006 Species
Bass, mullet , pollack, coalie, whiting, scorpion fish, flounder, dab, LSD 4lb, rockling, ballan wrasse, mackeral, codling. curently blanking poorly hope to end soon.

The Dee...

The Dee Fishes well from now to January with Coalies, Pollack, Codling and Whiting all in abundance. Fish half way to the other pier with Fish or worm baits and you're pretty much guarantee'd bites.

u'll still catch plenty of doggies at helens bay thru the winter along with whiting mate. just fish from the rocks close to the beach rather than the rocks under the fort. loads of dogs along that beach.
