Report:

me and neil decided to head out for another session the weather was terrible but i wanted to get out cause the likelyhood of me gettin out next month is slim due to work and other things but neway. we had a few marks in mind but ballintoy was shelterd so we decided to head there.

i was mad lookin a fish but unfortunitly just when the light faded the bro caught a coallie and i caught a crab. but thats the joys of fishing.

im looking forward to April so i can hit the sea again and hopefully be more successful.

Know the feeling mate. Me and my mate Nial were in Ballintoy a couple of Saturday's ago on the exact same mark and blanked Totally disheartening when you look forward the whole week to fishing a supposedly good deep water mark

We moved on to White Rocks which was also a complete waste of bait. Better luck in Waterfoot lately though, Nial will be posting a report shortly I imagine as he had a great night last night

Better luck next time, hope its not too long before we see you out again.

Stick with it but give Ballintoy a miss (dead loss). You're on the right track with the mark type. I'm using 2/0 hooks with big baits on Boom Pennel rigs. Its working for me at the minute.

Can't wait 'til springtime again but at least its not as baltic as last year

Was going to give the back wall of Portrush harbour a go as it should be into deep water but i'm preparing myself for tackle loss as i'm told it can be weedy. I make my own rigs so i'll be using the most basic stuff I can to minimise snags.

keep the faith,
Monty
