Report:

short and sweet.the way i like it.good man

Would worry mate i went to portrush for 4 hrs and caught bugger all as well, plenty of bites but other than that nothing.
might get out the night to try and sort thois blank out

unlucky better luck next time

Daylight fishing isn't great at the moment mate, even night's arn't that great it's just the time of year. There are pollock showing up on the Antrim coast from Larne up so why not try some of the rock marks at night.

well,.. i drove to donegal 2 weeks ago from co.antrim very keen to catch my first ray. 2hrs there 2hrs back. arrived in donegal with a storm blowing! - was unfishable! (btw, there was fine weather when i left home and when i returned )

i feel your pain. u r not alone

Fair play for making the effort lads. Hope ye get rewarded for it soon. That kind of dedication has to pay off sooner or later.

Thanks lads your replies make me feel better. Sometimes you feel everyone else is catching, so why me with another blank. Theres always next week

I don't think it's a case that everyone else is catching all the time. Most people just don't report blanks. I've had plenty of them over the last few weeks and so have most of the lads i've been talking to. Things will pick up soon with spring in full swing now.

never worry man. march is always a tough month of the year. i was on 6 back to back blanks this time last year bloody grim.
