Report:

Arrived at this beach around 7pm and fish it until 9pm. Couple of knocks but no results.

I have never fished this beach before. Does anyone much about. We were fishing to the left of the slipway. Its was very muddy.

Does anyone know how to fish this beach, bait, etc.

Cheers In Advance

i havent fished that exact spot mate but i would expect it to produce flounder like everywhere else around holywood. i think it might be early for this beach to produce. from memory it only starts to fish from late april/may. ragworm was always the best bait here though they will take strips of mackerel also.

What size do they run to Rab??

i've had them to about 2 1/2 pound drew, but u really get pestered by the small ones which is probably the bites that round ourway was getting and could'nt strike into. i've caught ones the size of a 50p coin before!!!

cheers for the info rab. looks like a decent enough fishing beach

*Cough*Meet*Cough*? :lol:

i'll also add that holywood is probably the best beach i know for mullet if that floats yer boat. they're jumping all round u in the summer months. i know a few spots with having grown up fishing here and i'll let post a report when the fishing gets good.

mullet in holywood, that sounds awesome! i really want to target them on the fly this year. and im always in holywood!
where abouts do you recommend, is the from seaforde park towards belfast or towards bangor.
any tips would be great!
thanks
tony

towards belfast chum. the good thing about mullet is they will show themselves so u will stumble among them. but from kinnegar towards belfast is the spot. good luck!!!

excellant cheers!
have you had much luck before!
