People: Just me

Duration: 5 hours - 5am - 10am

Tide: High at 6.20

Weather: Blustery and cold

Bait: Mack and rag

Rigs: 2 hook scratcher

Results: 4 whiting

Catch and Release:: Yes

Report: Thought I'd give Portaferry a go for a change as the winds where a bit high at Donaghadee and Ballyhalbert. Lots of weed about still after the weeks storms and I lost a couple of rigs to it. The whiting where caught close in but dissapeared as the tide changed. Nothing until I packed up at 9am to go to Walter Rocks but once again nothing there. Got a tip from a local walking his dog about a little mark which I'll have try some time soon.

How do you go about fishing this mark? I had a go for a couple of hours today, and lost my gear every single cast :evil: Weed everywhere

Pully rig about 50yds out with a 4 oz snker and a 2 hook boom rig close in (light gear for small fish)

I would opt for a 5 or 6oz lead on a pulley rig with a rotten bottom and hook thats easy bent.If there is much weed about dont go any further than 20 or 30yds.On a good night the fishing makes up for the tackle loss.Either way its a great mark.
