Holywood

#1 Post by vamper »

I am relatively new to sea fishing, and was wondering if fishing from the beach at Holywood would be worthwhile.

At low tide, it looks snag free, and is only 5 mins drive from Belfast

Is there a reason why no-one ever fishes there, as i have yet to see anyone there.

I've fished it a few times and had codling ,whiting, flounder and coalies nothing of any great size though . crabs are an absolute nightmare as well .
If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

Keep meaning myself to fish holywood, but just never seem to get around to it. But there has to be something there to catch.
