Hey K2. You didn't mention the serious lesson in pier angling you got. Thanks for the positive rockling comments though ... your night's never complete without a rockling!!

Goes to show there only one spot on that peir...so its ok to blank if you dont get to it :shock: :shock:

Hi K2.

I believe I may have been speaking to you down in Millisle (and afterwards at D'dee) on Sunday?

Thanks for the advice on giving Millisle a miss - if you haven't ever caught a decent fish there, I don't think there was much chance of me or the bro getting one

Cheers....

Good to meet you mate, as I say, the Dee or Bangor are your better bets... Saying that, the place was packed on Sunday.... :(

K2:

What is Millisle like to fish below the car park there? Whenever i come home to my parents I walk the dog on the beach and it looks ok (lets put it this way I wish we had beaches like that in Sussex, would be full of Bass). Would you get Codling and flatties along it? Just asking cause next time i'm over I'm bringing my gear with me :D

Lived in Millisle 22 Years... I havent seen a fish off it...
