[b]Report:[/b CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE ALL THE EXCELLENT FISHING IS IN THIS AREA OR HAVE I JUST BEEN UNLUCKY?

I always remember this stretch of coast as a bit of a fish desert. Probably the most barren of the north coast. Perhaps it has changed - i am talking about 20 years ago

I think it has i keep going to the same places and gettin told the same tactics however results having being a 500gram dont no fish in aroung 16hrs of fishing in the last month

any of the marks between the ports u really would be best using rag at this time of year over the weedy areas for wrasse and pollock and fresh mackerel for the dogs and conger etc.u need to be prepared to lose a bit of gear to.try the back wall of portrush harbour, ramore head, rocks at lansdowne(alll portrush), rocks around convent , rocks way round back of portstewart harbour. ballyreagh was it you were fishing??around juniper hill area??

It was the rocks around the convent i fished and belive me i lost half the rig wallet. What about portstrewart strand?

yeah you can lose a lot of gear there but some good bull huss come off it apparently, also heard of guys spinning for bass around that area.the strand should throw up good flounder from now on on rag or lug tipped with mackerel

I fished off the rocks beside the car park at ramore head on sunday morning. I used feathers and hokkai types and landed 8 mackerel and 2 pollock in just over an hour.
Fished the rocks near Ballyreagh 2 weeks ago for an hour, I caught 2 small pollock and my daughter caught 3 mackerel on her first cast.
Seems early morning or evening is best.

Can you tell me where ramore head is where it is near this area is unfirmilliar to me

it is the head of the peninsula upon which portrush is built.,basically drive past the harbour/waterworld,at the top of this wee hill turn left following signs for lansdowne car park.you will drive past the bowling/tennis greens.park in the big car park and follow the path at the car park end of the greens.it will lead youy onto the rocks,fish anywhere you like but usually i walk as far as possible along the rocks back next the harbour.only fish this venue if sea conditions are good, dont chance it when rough, it can be a real dangerous hole!!!!
hope this helps
