January Meet.....Northern Lads.....All Welcome!

yeah, thats the directions to fish the east end of the beach(white rocks).

the east strand is the stretch of beach running from portrush to this point.
if you are coming from the ballymoney / bushmills side ,to fish the west(town)end of the beach, take the road into portrush past kellys nightclub, go straight at the roundabout, past the maxol station you will see a signpost for the big east strand car park(opposite dolphin chip shop)

Surprised you made it past Kelly's Phil :shock: :shock:

you not notice thats why i proposed a friday night, not saturday!! :wink: :lol: :P

ok me and 2 others costa and dav free at moment will know by sat if work cleared us. but will be there.

Let us know time and final call on mark.

went through all the posts cant see a date anyone any ideas?

date - friday 27th january. time - probably whenever you can get to portrush!! :wink:

so it,s friday 27th january at the harbour in portrush????????is this right????

venue not yet decided john, seems east strand or the harbour are possiblities.
heard most of the fish on the east strand were caught at the town end, around the stream area (including a 46cm flounder) so its more or less just a matter of a very short walk from your car if you want to fish it, not the usual hike!! possibly more variety on the beach rather than harbour??

so it is definately in portrush then???

well i take it it is because i dont see many other suggestions...?

The club I am in is fishing East strand on Sunday 15th so will have a report closer to the time. Think it's a good idea to fix venue to either Portrush harbour or strand so everyone knows where they stand.

ok,

friday 27th january

portrush , either harbour or EAST strand (town end)

time, say 7pm???

suit everyone ok?

Spot on Phil, at least this meet is set with plenty of time to spare rather than the usual last minute rush. Hopefully this will encourage more people to turn up.

Lee

Date / time suits me ok - looking forward to meeting a few more from the board.

I vote for the east strand town end and time suits us (costa,dav,rob)

so 3 off us be there.

what time is high tide

anymore takers?
i know there wasnt much caught at it the weekend past but it was an incoming tide and i think according to lee we will be fishing a dropping tide that night...it may fish better, ive always caught more fish on it with a dropping tide.

Just to let you know the 3 of us thats me,costa and dav be there for sure got work sorted.

i take it we are still on for 7 ish at east strand portrush. Town end

Any tips on what bait for this mark.

lug or rag tipped with either mackerel, sandeel or mussel will lift everything going.

Cept the Rogue Tope... :shock: :lol:

dont think we will have to worry about any of them!!
