[b]Report:
Was camping at Carnfunnock over the w/end and received approval from the FPO (Fishing Permissions Officer) to bring my fishing gear. After getting the tent setup, cooking dinner and washing up I headed for Glenarm for an hour or two. Miserable weather and not a lot to report. Used several rigs and combinations of bait but it wasn't until the last cast with a single clipped down rig baited with mack and cast as far as I could throw it that I eventually caught the only worthwhile fish of the night:?.
Had some bait left over on Saturday and made way round to the Ledges. It was just after HT and again the weather was miserable with the wind and rain coming straight down the glen and blowing out over the bay. Found it hard to catch bottom as the tide was flowing quite strongly. Had several bites but knew the fish were small. Perserved and just like the night before last cast produced the only fish of the short session.
Overall pretty poor, I had expected a bit more action but then that's fishing :wink:
