White Trout Co.Antrim

People: just me
Duration: 3 hours or so
Tide: coming in
Weather: fine
Bait: none
Rigs: fly and spinner
Results: a few fish
Report:
thought i'd give the seatrout another go on Saturday morning. started with the fly (sandeel imitation) and spent a good hour covering an area of water thoroughly, but with no success. also switched to a shrimp imitation (crazy charlie) and fished along the sandy seabed in the hope of a flatty, no joy there either.
having seen no sign of any fish, I switched location opting to fish along a rocky shoreline. tried again with the fly for a while but soon gave up on it, because i wasnt happy with the distance i was getting, and switched to a small spinner on the spinning rod. first fish was a lovely very silver and lean seatrout im guessing about 8oz, was pretty chuffed with him. also got a pretty decent ballan wrasse, which also took the spinner
, and a few small pollack.
a pretty good little session but hopefully a better trout the next time
a few pics below
cheers
