Has anyone fished in County Down? My brother lives near Downpatrick and is always asking me to go over. I\'ve checked out websites and there\'s a commercial industry there but couldn\'t find any local angling info.

I visited two years ago and had a fantastic time (non fishin\'). The scenery is a photographer\'s dream and the Guiness.......well, need I say more!

I can eat his food, drink his beer and hijack the family car for as long as I like, so a few hours fishin\' could also be on the agenda next time I visit

Any info would be very welcome

Fished last year on the North Antrim coast. Fishing there was mainly for flats, flounder, dab and turbot but bass and mullet could be caught. Was fishing a match so was pegged. Worm and mackerel or razorfish took fish. often the fish are close in I\'m told with a bit of surf but it was flat.

Log in to the site alan.f suggested, they\'ve been a great help for my trip to Kerry.
