People:GADSAC COMP
Duration:6 till 11pm
Tide:2 hours before HW
Weather:dry but turned wet
Bait:rag and mack
Rigs:2 hook clipped and 3 hook flappers
Results:doggie, flounder, coalies and whitting
Report:after driving through the rain the whole way from belfast i was surprised to see the weather at the beach was perfect, little wind good sea and dry. fishing was a bit slow to start with for myself although some of the other lads were getting straight into fish, landed a small flounder and codling just as the light was fading but both were undersize
. as darkness kicked in i lumped out some nice chunks of mack in the hope of a doggie and within 10mins i got what i was after 
, the odd small coalies after that and then a nice whitting, (well i think it was but it was coloured like a codling but had no chin barb and had a bit more of a shine to it) no mater if it was a cod or whitting it was the biggest of either i've landed this year so i'm happy with that. ( not that it was a monster by any means ) . tried for the doggies again and had a few good knocks but no hook-ups. started raining about 45 mins from the end but was still happy enough wiht the 2 counters..............would like to get back up again with some lug as a few of the others lads were having better fish with them
all in all a good night and a decent beach to fish

Good man
I agree this is the better of the beaches in that area, its hard graft though during daylight, but as soon as darkness falls it gets better. It can be a bit crabby at times though

good to see you got to hand a card in with a few on it minty 
. we could'nt make it as jordan started back to school the following morning. and seeing as the comp did'nt finish to 11pm we just had to sit another one out 
we'll have to make it to the next one back up at the roe providing there is a forecast that makes the place fishable . i've a wee bag of leads for you too man that i'll bring up with us. the mould is gonna save us a brave few quid over the coming years
