Glenarm Breakwater 18 March 2006

People: Me, Conor & spgavin

Duration: 11.00 - 16.00

Tide: HT 13.30

Weather: Strong NE but dry

Bait: Rag, squid sandeel

Rigs: 2 Hook clip down, pennell & spun sandeel

Results: 1 x 3 bearded rockling & 1 plaice


Report:
The NE wind made life difficult and casting even harder :cry: :cry:

Very little happening all day with most baits coming back untouched.

Young Conor took the 3B Rockling, but it was only 20cm.

I took the plaice (25cm)on 2nd last cast of the day. This is the second plaice I have taken in succession from this mark.

Only one thing left to say..... ROLL ON SUMMER :mrgreen:

nobody told you Gavin,summers been cancelled!

Cheers Benny - I've lost the will to live :shock:

April is only round the corner - I'm an optimist so I know there will be lots of fish :P :P :P

good to see that they are arriving! not that i doubt the fish recognition at all but, are you sure they weren't flounder?
just wondered as a few days on glenarm beach people have shown me the 'plaice' they have caught but they are actually fairly light brown flounder with browny orange spots.

Big bright orange spots phil - almost neon in colour, broad fins on the sides, defo not flounder.

cool, good to hear their numbers are increasing around the coast again, a mate had 3 plaice up at portrush on friday past as well.

where abouts was he fishing in the port phill.

the harbour, your home away from home! :wink: :wink:

where they any size mate,and did he get anything else when he was there???

he said all 3 were over just over 30cm, he also had a half decent rockling he figured around 3/4 of a pound caught in close in the weed when he got a birdsnest!! but that was all he caught.
im in half a notion of going either cushendall or portrush this friday if the weather is anyway half decent to give the plaice a throw.

Cushendall producing flats :D
