South Down Marks

#1 Post by drewk »

Hey guys, works going to transfer me down to the Newry for a couple of months with the week-ends being spent at home. Does anyone know of any reasonable South Down marks in the area between Warrenpoint and Newcastle. It looks like the majority of the fishing will be done during the daylight hours unfortunatly. I hope to try Bloody Bridge River again as I used to fish it when i was younger (whats it been like recently?) If anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Pointers on species, rigs, tides and times would be great. I honestly don't think I could go for 8 weeks without
