I think they did but with lying in the motor they had gone soft and sticky, my Da just done it for a laugh like, but the rod did show bites lol Mark...

Over here in Northern Ireland the best bait I've used to catch Ray is Hern (Herring). Best Bait for Conger is Pouting. I swear te ye my Da was getting bites one day on cheesy wotsits😄 now the wotsits had been lying in the back of my Da"s car for donkeys but it's the truth🤪 Mark...👍

NTSLF, National Tide and Sea level Facility. These people gather the data. Mark...

I can come across as argumentive 🤗 but that is not my intention😅 I am only interested in the truth.🤪 We should all try our utmost to give the younger generation a helpful hand on the old fishing am,, platform lol an not fill them full of piss an vinegar. Us old hands have done our time standing...

Barnacle i have sat in a small rowing boat 100yards out to sea in gin clear water watching flatties come off the bottom a good 8ft to chase my ragworm bait. The water column the fish feed in, for me, has a wide interpretation. Most days spinning for Pollock it's low an slow, other days though...

Well I am amazed Kevin. The South has always been first priority when anglers come to Ireland. Up the North here has always been shunned for favour of the South. So I am sitting in a warm glow thinking I have better fishing in Co Antrim than Co Wexford.🤪 Sounds like ye need to travel then...

The trick to fishing is being on the shore when the fish are feeding. Feeding fish are in competition with one another for food. It's a dog eat dog world below the waves. All the advice on traces above is correct at one time or another and if you are trying to winkle a fish out they by all...

Dont get to caught up in rigs/traces Kevin:) sharp hooks good bait and the right conditions are more important. Ye live in Wexford, you should have no problems catching a fish or two fella. For me i would fish a paternoster, its no fancy helicopter jobby lol but i can tell you now, it has...

I've been casting high swing pendulum style now on thirty years. Once ye get the hang of it you can use it to cast lesser distances as well 😄 Not every cast has to be your maximum distance accompined by a grunt a fart a massive over run an a birds nest, as some would have you believe 😆 Although...

Multis just like fixed spools have come along way over the years. Mag brakes make multis idiot proof nowadays. Threads concerning multis it seems have to have the obligatory fixed spool user banging on about over runs an birds nest. The reel (multi) does not birds nest by itself. It is down to...

I use small bubble floats on the snood line when Bass fishing sometimes, not to stop small critters from stealing bait as I think it's a myth. More to add movement to the bait. I get the tiny wee bubble floats from the pound shop🤗 Mark...

Aye over here in Northern Ireland we have never lost the Haddock. But like the Cod it's mostly just wee one's. The boats still get decent sized Haddock/Cod but from the shore it's a different story. Dabs are caught as often as Flounder, Whiting are in plague proportions😁. Mark...

Okey doke VB, 😎 Wonder why there was not more? I do like eating the oul Mackerel though, so would not mind a bucket full lol Mark... PS, that's the Mackerel the next day, it's been in the bait freezer overnight.👍

Scraic O dawn

Just a quicky🤪 Anyone still catching Mackerel? Last two trips out I have caught a single Mackerel both times, first was a wee Joey and yesterday there I got one that is eatable, it's feckin December 😄 Both took the spinner right in under my feet along the edge of a weed bed. I have read about...
