fished the beaches around ardwell for a couple of hours blanked ! :( went to another new mark at drummore blanked ! :( by the way there was 6 of us fishing :rolleyes:that was sat over , went to the black rock at the mull sunday morning plenty of mackeral ,a good few pollack around the pound mark on float fished mackeral ,and a wrasse ,it was red hot everyone got burnt :mad:so we decided to go to portpatrick for a bit of lunch ,had fish n chips of van there was lush ,we were all nursing hangovers :o i looked in the harbour to only see about 4 or 5 mullet about the 4-5lb mark so while everyone alse decided to fish the rocks for pollack and wrasse i went and bought a loaf of bread and started to mash it with mackeral and put it in my lobster pot and try to get the big mullet feeding ,an hour passed before a mullet came in to my swim so i dropped in a bit off bread on a size 16 hook and scared him away :red:, so i changed tactics and put braid on and another half an hour passed before they came back on the feed ,they kept on nudging my bait and swimming away then a bigger fish came in eating the mackeral so i put a little bit on his nose and he took it , i struck and all hell broke loose twenty minutes passed before he was calm enough to try and lift it up as i landed it i realised that about 30 people where watching me on the other side of the harbour and they all gave me a nice round of applause:red:, what a fight but i played it cool :cool: its head and tale were over each side of my box :o it must have been 8lb ,my mate took photos but he is not on here only on facebook . we went to a beach at lochryan on mon morning but i only had 3 ballan wrasse , nearly $hit though when that big ferry opened his engines and caused a miny tidal wave washed everbodys gear about 20 foot up the beach i was soaked ,but a great trip and the fight of that thick lipped mullet i will never forget :D, seen snatcher at clashwannon showed him photos but never got the chance to drink or fish with him maybe next time ;),happy times
