Trip to Northern Ireland in April

**xcrisx** · 16-03-2007, 15:18

who's up for it?

I fancy a few days fishing Belfast and north of there. the ferry isnt to expensive, i think its about £75 for the coach but with the apex it will be about half of that. not the best way to travel but its cheap.

Im taking a tent so accomodation costs will be zero, just bait and foodstuff to shell out for.

who wants to go then? Im looking to go the 20th-23rd of April.

Cris you wana be driving right through there and heading for the Donegal area!

I fished roughly 50 miles south of donegal last august for 5 days and it was the best fishing i have ever had in my life the waters are totally virging you will never see another angler!!

In total me and my two mates handled prob about 250 (without exagerating) pollock averaging about 4 pounds to all methods from spinning to rag on the flaot and even on the bottom as well as lots of other species including bull huss monster wrasse e.t.c

This was all from the shore and most of the time we fished light to enable us to keep on the move at all times!

If you need any more info let me know matey.
