Report:

I'm not going to report, there's no point, Basically we threw everything we had at various marks over the past couple of days and our rewards were.. zilch.
I'm highly surprised we didn't get anything from Portaferry or Ballyhalbert on Sunday night as conditions seemed favourable.
As for todays antics, Easterly wind was kicking the shiz clean out of ever mark on the North East Coast... 7oz Grippers were no match for huge seas and howling winds... The snow was pretty on the mountains though. :lol:

Good honest report drew, you must have read "billy the fish's way to catch" before starting out then.

Hard luck dude but a great effort :) good weather is just around the corner.

Myself and Nial K had planned to go to Waterfoot tomorrow night however the weather doesn't look the best. A shame, we had a good winter's fishing there.

Keep 'er lit!
