Report:Im glad to say that the summer is on its way for Bangor and the wrasse are starting to appear again even if its not in any great numbers.First fish was a little corkwing followed quickly by a goldsinny then and ballan,unfortunately that was the last wrasse of the session and all i could catch after that was a few poorcod and 4 or 5 pouting.Once the light started to go i had two small shores but i couldn`t stick the cold wind any longer and headed home for a hot coffee. :)

Nice one Davy,
