hi guys havent been on the site for a while(tecninical problems lol) but I have been doing quite a lot of fishing, will be adding some reports in the near future. I however have not fished ballintoy this year, and havent saw any recent reports and would like someones help and advice of how to fish it in the winter. I fished it last year around june/august where i caught some plaice and my mate lost a good sea trout. If anyone can advise it would be gratefully appreiciated. cheers

haven't fished it lately ,mainly due to issues with the local land owner restricting access (he owns the land to the beach and is fighting the EHS over certain issues ) with a gate across the entrance down . maybe best to wait until everything is cleared up so as not to cause bad feeling .
