Morning Rab,

whereabouts is this mark on Islandmagee?

I would fish Portmuck regularly so I know my way about up there - first time that I have heard of this mark.

Cheers.

hi gavin,
skernigan point is the headland on the right hand side of browns bay, walk out to around the big round boulder up on the grass, and fish from here ,similar mark to the ledges near waterfoot as you cast out over rough ground out onto sand or cast short into weed or float fish.

Cheers Rab,

that is another venue to add to the list.

We are heading up the coast today for a GADSAC comp 1-6.

Lets hope there are some fish about :shock: :shock: :shock:
