I\'ve been checking out Strangford Lough coz it\'s not far from my bro\'s house. There\'s even a skipper over there (Bangor) who will pick you up from Portpatrick. Thanks again for the links lads, they\'ve been a great help.

Hi john, hope the new job is working out for you. I seen that you havn\'t been able to get out on your leave (bummer eh). Never mind! If you can get in my suitcase and carry it at the same time you\'re welcome and we could make a few bob on the way lol

strangford lough can produce some good tope this time of year ,there are also some skippers in bangor aswell one being a boat called the missy moo there is a tackle shop right at the harbour you could pick up some good spots there if you call.i know they are getting makerel there at the moment.further on round the coast there is red bay which is fishing quite well from boat and shore.

Thanx for the tips beachcaster. Missy Moo skipper\'s got a website that I checked and sounds good but local tips are always best. My brother lives in Ballynahinch so any pointers from there would be more than welcome.

where you are based you are within 40 minutes drive of the mouth of strangford lough where you can spin on the rocks for pollock and makerel or bottom fish for qite a few species but if you need bait you need to either bring it yourself or get it in belfast.there are two charter boats on strangford lough if you fancy a day out ,there are plenty of deep water marks on the other side of the golf club on the rocks.there should be some makerel spinning ,good luck let me know how you get on.cheers john.

Will do John. Still in the planning stages and still havn\'t had a reply off my brother but he works all over the UK and is hard to catch (like cod off our shore at the moment). Thanx again for your help
