NEED HELP FAST. 9 BLANKS AND COUNTING ?????????????????????

Thu Jul 06, 2006 11:45 am

I am sure iam posting in the wrong section as not a report but a cry for help.

I have been at this for just over a year. I fish with 2 others on a reg basis and they catch every trip but iam now 9 trips and counting.

Through help from forum i learnt to fish and have good water craft iam aware of baits and tides. Also got great advice on kit and have got all that's needed and some thats not a rod for all kinds of marks.

Iam losing hope fast, does anyone have a mark that is producing ( all pm message be private and stay as such).

I need a trip to refuse my love of this sport. I hate having to ask but this forum has been a great help in the past.

I have to admit i was out fly fishing last week i hang my head in shame. Please help guild me back into the light. As sea angling my first passion.

Hi Pookie 5488, if you are looking a bit of craic that you can't fail at, go to Bangor. If you go out past the harbour and around the single file road towards Ballyholme, just as you see the house? on the edge of the road the seas on, park up, go over the rocks and away you go ..The Mackerel are there so thick that you could nearly walk on water. I know it's not real fishing?? but it's a bit of craic in the short term. I was down yesterday for an hour, I had over 40 of them in 40 mins. I couldn't get any more into my cool box so I left to come home and freeze them.

HEAVEN :lol: no i don't mean blanking.i mean it would be heaven if the wife was on crutches and she also fished. :idea: i may be able to talk her into going fishing,say near the edge of very high rocks :!: the dangerous thing about rocks is that they can be slippery,just imagine - the wife on crutches near the edge of slippery rock--too tempting :twisted: :twisted:

p.s. if my beautiful wife reads this-of course i am only joking,love :oops:
