People: me

Duration: 5-7.30pm

Tide: approaching full, but still very low

Weather: warm and settled

Bait: fresh lug, frozen razor

Rigs: yip

Report:
havent fished bait from the shore for quite a while but was happy to give it a go today to see what was about
nothing much to report, just a typical session for the red bay shore when fishing the bottom i.e. a few small fish and a few differnt species. threw out 2 rods and and tried a bit of spinning but all fish fell to the bait. also chucked out the shrimp pot baited with a frozen razor into the kelp dring the session, but nothing in it on return.
enjoyed it fine as the conditions were nice. the other guy fishing along side me blanked :P
final result: 1 pollack, 1 coley, 1 flounder and 2 dogs

I think I passed you on my way to Cushendun, at least you managed a few fish, we had 6 rods out between 5 of us and 1 flounder for our efforts(5 hours), im officially retiring from that place ive never seen it as bad as that. I had planned to fish at the ledge only to be greated by a string of about 20 crab/lobster pots.

i had to fish between the pot lines, that was probably me indeed
gave up on Cushendun beach ages ago myself, its just another victim of our decimated fish stocks! :( apparently it used to be a fantastic spot years ago. not any more. stunning mark all the same..
jees i faired rightly then if i managed to out-fished 5 of yous :wink: :mrgreen:
cheers for the post JR

That's one shiny flounder! Sounds like a good enough session judging by Julio Ragworm's report; I used to fish up that way regularly years ago but I don't sense any point in going again.
