report----

Got to the mark just before 10am and got set up and in the water shortly after..The first few hours were slow with the odd bit here and there.but things where startin to turn wen i managed a nice ballen wrasse on the float so baited up and sent it straight back out.while the float was out i decided to try a bit of spinning this turned out to be far more effective than the float as within an hour i managed 6 mackeral, but it was time to concentrate back on the float, so brought it in and rebaited( whilst the misses was cooking a bbq )then after the float being out for roughly 15 mins bang it disappeared so brought it in to find a nice size pollack around the 39cm mark .by this time the rain had started and so i decided it was last cast time ,i started gettn bites almost straight away, so i let it sit for a while longer(while we tidyed the rubbish from the bbq up) and the float disappeared again it was another nice pollack not as big as the first one only measurin 28cm roughly,but all in all it was a nice day out and good to have the misses with me and she even asked next time i go to take her again and bring a rod for her..

I'm with you on that one Paul, no harm but I enjoy the time away from my girl when fishing. I think its healthy to have your own hobby.

well done mate, sounded like a great wee session. If only I could get my missus to like fishing as well.
good to hear the mackerel are back and big pollock bonus

nice fishing bryan it looks like things are on the up on the antrim coast

cheers for the comments lads hopefully have another session like it this weekend

good to see the north coast starting to produce good fish. hoping to get back up that direction in a week or two as i have a comp at Ballyholme at the weekend and spent last week trying for a trout in the lagan ( unsucessfuly ).
well done on the fish and getting the missus to join you.

cheers minty the place im actually working at the moment has a river beside it so i think im gonna try for a trout some lunch time this week , i mean if ya stand and watch the water you can see the trout rising up to the surface.........
