Larry bane near ballintoy can fish well when an east wind stirs things up. having said that it is at dusk and into darkness that is the optimum time. It is a very versatile mark with fishing over sand, spinning at dusk where the weed margins run into the sand while walking round to the left there are marks for rough ground fishing into kelp. Could be a few big pollack at this time of year.

yeah larrybane should throw fish up, though if you dont like rats dont go!!!! the place is living with them, especially after dark!

white park bay could be worth a chuck, its a bit of a walk though fishing can be quite good this time of year from what i hear
