#1 Post by johncodown »

People:Me

Venue:Orlock & Dee

Duration:6pm till 11pm

Tide:Flood

Weather:Cloudy and Warm gusty southerly

Flys:Clousers,Rays,charlies and sandeel patterns

Results:a few small pollack and one decent hook up


Report:Headed out last night for a recky along the north down coast started at orlock and walked to sandeel bay looking for any decent looking spots to chuck a fly there were quite a few people fishing along the coast so things looked promising until the "havent caught a thing all day "response came from all that I talked to :? anyways walked on round to sandeel bay and fished for 2 hours with not even a hint of a fish a move was in order and found another wee rock on the way back to the car had a bit of fun with 6 inch pollack for a while :roll: , Decided to go for a drive and found a beach just before the golf course which looked like it might provide a fish or two there were a few seals moving about the boulders and the gulls were feeding so I gave it a chuck with the biggest sandeel pattern I could find several cast later I hit a good fish which took line and then spat the hook :( :( tried on until dark without any more takes, fishing was very poor to say the least..
