Report:Great nights fishing, plenty of double hook ups. Fish coming in steady throughout the night. John caught a cracking mackerel on a sandeel bait. Cushendun beach has not fished this well for us in ages, will def. be back.

Sorry for the short report but time a bit tight.

talking to others it has been fishing really well, they packed up the other night late on because they couldnt get through the mackerel on it

You reckon a set of feathers would take a pendulum? :lol: :lol:

Lee

they will if you make them up yourself on heavier main rig body no problem.60-80 lb line.

just use mustad hokkais, they are built on 60 i think....
good strong knots too

No Phil, had them snap while out in the boat - as John says would need to be home made. It's not worth the risk.

Lee

never had any bother with them myself

Lee - I think you could customise a 3 hook flapper pretty easy to do the job.

Short snoods and a 5oz oval weight - should be fun :idea:

I'm staying down in C'dun 13 14 & 15 - could be worth a wee outing??

Yea, sounds good to me. The way the beach was fishing will be easy to convince to come down again a wee run.
