Rocks near Ardglass, Co Down, 28/01/07

People:me

Duration:13.00-17.00

Tide:Low at 13.00

Weather:Blustery westerly

Bait:sandeel and artificials

Rigs:trolling

Results:about 20 pollack

Catch and Release:: Yes all returned



Report: One of my usual marks which I knew would be sheltered from the westerlys. Plenty of pollack about most around 2 lb best today 3lb+. All fell to sandeel except 2. The best fish of the day was taken on a leadhead with a big green fluorescent jelly. The other took a hookai which I have on a short snood about 18 inches above the leadhead. Tried the artificials for 30 mins after the sandeel was finished and just as the light was going.

sounds like a good days fishing mate. any chance of knowing roughly where u where maybe, would love to catch some pollock cant really get anything other than coalies at the min and all small. we fish ardglass alot but usually down the golf course and thats bit far to walk with the dodgy weather aswell.

hi johnson1, he will have been fishing the rocks between ballyhornan and ardglass. threw up some big pollock this year from what i remember.

Yes, rocks between the two. At closest a 15 min walk from Ballyhornan.

is there alot of rock marks round there between ardglass and ballyhornan then, ive drove by a few times didnt really see to much of interest. is there any places to park any closer than 15 mins walk if not il have to pck light i usually bring everthing i own lol. think we head round that area on sunday for a look then.

Johnson have a look on Co.Down shore marks

not all the co down marks are not there theres local marks that i know thats not on it 8)

In that case can you also send me that pm :)

Have you fished sheeplands and the adjecent areas

often thought the shore marks for down section could be updated. can't believe ardglass doesn't feature on it for instance. kilkeel also throws up some good fishing as does newcastle.

Go and do your bit then Rab, Do the necessary and PM JD or Kieran.....

unfortunately pete, i don't fish the areas i mentioned often enough to give info on how they fish. it wouldn't be an accurate enough report on any of them to do them justice. just surprised there was no mention of these areas on the shore mark section.

didn't realise u fished the down coast liam, u seem to always report along the antrim coast. alot of my fav spots along the down coast unfortunately go very quiet at this time of year so i feel forced to fish the antrim coast in search of a bit of sport.

not very many who put a report will put down ardgass cause it very good from may onwards to noverember the mackerel coming in late to as late as november soon if god as his way thy will be in all year round :D
