Browns Bay

#1 Post by nobuzz »

Guys,

Is the better fishing at the east end or the west end of Browns Bay.

Thanks,

Alan

Do most people not fish from the rocks at either end of the beach?

I agree that beside the stream is a good option.

What were you getting at the stream?

I'm looking for some spots closer to Belfast to cut down on all the driving up to the North Coast and I've always fancied the look of Browns Bay.

Fish to the rocks to the right of the beach. Fish anywhere from the painted rock onwards. Alot of kelp for the first 20-30 yards and clean ground past it. Plenty of species there, i've caught Dogfish, Plaice, Flounder, Pollock, Coalie, Codling, Wrasse, Mackerel, Seatrout and Whiting.

Guys,

Thanks for the responses. We'll give it a rattle next time we're up that direction.
