Balcary point

[magpies]

Sorry if this is a daft question but I think I might have been looking in the wrong place, is it the 3rd point north (clockwise going round the bay) from Ross ?

Depends which way you come from but basically your looking for the point that goes out to sea further than the rest of the rock marks it's a steep (ish) walk & quite a steep rock mark to fish off
The bottom is mixed with mostly sandy bottom but tackle losses are quite high, there's other marks close by think one was called Jamie's point & the Manx both are just as good & at times better, I usuall walk from brighouse bay side & just follow the path.
It's hard to park now at Ross farmer is bit of a dick if he can't get his trailer past
I'm planning a fishing trip very soon anyone is welcome to tag along

[Tonygdodds]

I have a navigation chart somewhere showing depths etc there's also a few wrecks close to shore ill dig it out later & scan it onto here
We used to fish from a small boat launched from borgue or brighouse

all the fields up there are full of young bulls now

Balcary

Just wondering if some of the places I used to regularly fish still get fished? No-one seems to mention these places anymore

Suppose when the fish stocks collapsed in the Irish Sea ,some years ago people got tired of the place not catching
