common skate

has ny1 ny idea where i may get a large skate in north down or antrim.
ive heard or them in belfast lough.

Ballycastle with your uncle drew (if he still fishes) on sean mckays boat lady lynda . There are a few spots closer but thats secret info

any size up there.

i dont know if my uncle still fishes i havnt fished with him for ages.

i think the last time i did fish with him was one day at the lagoon in millisle for the mullet after i got the golden grey from it

Forget Belfast Lough. Ballycastle is the place. Book the Lady Lynda with Sean Mckay a no nonsence skipper. He is your best chanch for a big skate. His records prove it.

i'll have to get up.
wats da best time of year.....

Big skate being caught off Ballycastle this week. Get a good forecast, phone Sean and take his advice, no time like the present.

are skate an all year round species.

I'd think you'd get them in winter over with you, they certainly do in the Western Isles - http://www.planetseafishing.com/feature ... er-skater/
