anybody fish ballyhornan beach

hi asking any one who fishs on ballyhornan beach i have never seen anyone fish there.
if you do let me know so i can try it out.

I did a couple of years ago. A few very small flats and that was it. Hadn't the best bait and tackle at the time (borrowed from a mate) though, so would be worth a try, IMHO.

WHAT TIME OF DAY WAS IT IF YOU CAN THINK BACK THEN.

Midday, cloudy, calm, half-tide, filling. Mid summer. Vicious hangover, not sure if that was really a factor. But the Guinness was good in Ardglass the night before, if it's of any information value.

Plenty of really small flats to be seen in the water though. Beach looked promising.

7 PUBS IN ARDGLASS TAKE YOUR PICK?

Darned if I can remember the name but it's up above the town - has a bit of a restaurant thing going. Might have been the Lighthouse - up above the town on the Ballyhornan side? Like I mentioned earlier, was warped coming out of it. A friend who recommended it was similarly affected. Good seafood, I've just remembered. More will probably come back to me with time....

I think the mate referred to it as 'the lights'. Could be wrong.... Think there was a ruddy great castle across the road from it. (Assume my definition of 'across' to have been heavily coloured by porter....)

theres that many pubs .

About twice as may, it seems, after you've been in all of them in one evening. :lol:

I was told that the rocks at the back of the golf course would have been a better bet as regards the possibility of actually connecting to fish, but IMHO, if you're not casting off a beach, you're not fishing.....

(spent too many years catching pollock and wrasse off the rocks - the fun has gone out of it.....takes me a week every year to find the latest killer lure, then it's like shooting fish in barrel, if you'll pardon the pun - no challenge left.)

The rocks behind the golfclub produce good pollock and wrasse, deep water mark

very rough ground though, you'll loose a lead a chuck

fish there dont like it a lot of seal there they come up look whos on the shore and head down to the botom then they wait ontil a fish come its easy pickings for them.

Every harbour will have a pile of seals knocking about - they learn to follow the boats in and out and mooch about the entrance in between times for any easy pickings. That's why I head for the beaches - less of them about. You ought to come to Donegal. I'll show you a real seal problem. I should probably be running package holiday hunting trips for eskimos.... :lol:

never fish up there went scuba diving.
