Am headin for the Port this weekend and have a mate coming along who wants to have a go at a shore session from one of the beaches.

Was thinkin of the White Rocks - anyone fished it lately and got any info?

What about the East / West Strand anything doing?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Cheers

haven't heard much about the portrush beaches but i fished whitepark bay last week with the other half and between us had about 18 fish in a 4hr session ,turbot and flounder ,nothing massive but fish to 1lb .
All the fish came from close in on rag and mackerel ,helens first cast she had 2 turbot ,whilst i sorted out an over run on the beachcaster (just put new line on ) :oops:
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.
