FIRST TIME FISHING HERE I ENJOYED VERY MUCH I MUST BE IN THE LOBSTER CLUB SEEMS PEOPLE ARE CATCHING THESE VERY OFTEN. :D :D

And we were gonna head there too last night, sorry we missed you lads! :( :shock: :cry:

yea Liam i have fished the breakwater tons of times but last night really was something Elise like 9 doggy's in five hours great nights fishing. i love doggy fishing anyway there hardy little fish and they can give you a good fight. what me and Liam do is put them in the bay were the boats are when we catch them that way they can find there own way out to the sea and give them time to recover. we did that with all fish that we caught last night and the lobster that is one spot that i would like to fish again some time maybe with the tide rising. with out a doubt the best nights fishing i have had all year for the simple fact that we didn't get any the first 2 hours that we were there well Liam got a Collie but as soon as it was dark BANG they were hooked. and the mackerel was like gold dust to the doggy's we had some on squid but the rag with a tippet of mackerel worked a treat

:twisted: doggy heaven :twisted:

I think i pm one you 3 people about fishing friday

quality nights fishin lads, have caught 4 lobsters up there in the past few weeks. must be alot of them about. the biggest one i got weighed about 5lb.. apparantly that made it 50 years old! how it has survived all the pots is a mystery.

did you keep it for the pot or let it go the one that Liam got had one claw and weighed 3/4lb it went back in to the water i would have keeped the 5lb-er for sure they are lovely

was going to keep it but had nothing to put it in and had nothing to wrap round the claws. was actualy kinda scary lol. have a picture of it in my profile.. the other ones were all about 3/4lb.. have never tryed eating it but wudnt mind. cooking it would be a different story. wudnt have a clue !!

That's a hell of lobster ya got there! Something i've always wanted to taste actually, hopefully will someday without having to buy one! Think it's just a matter of boiling it for a half hour or so although maybe not ones that big :shock:

Why didnt we go to glenarm livid/drew? :?

ud need a hell of a big pot arite lol.. the missus wud freak if i weighed home with one of them!

Why didnt we go to glenarm livid/drew? :?

Because we thought it would be packed with... persons.

Dead easy to cook ghost.

3-5 mins in a pot of boiling salted water. Once it turns pink it is ready to eat.

A 5lb lobster would have provided a real good feed for 2 people.

If it is still up there, I think I'll take a wee run up this week :idea:

Jude

that is a monster of a lobster i have tried lobster when i was about 8 or 9 they are very nice taste even better that chicken the way i have seen them done is simple cable ties two cable ties for the claws and in to a pot of boiling water alive i don't know how long tho but they come out bright red i think

prob will get er tryed some of these days.. one crawling round the motor would be shrewd! good luck to ya gavin if you hook a big one, cause i nearly s@@@ them lol
