Belfast Lough

[Pross]

Has anyone ever fished Belfast Lough? I am likely to be visiting Carrickfergus regularly over the next few months with work and will have to kill time waiting for my flight home so thought I may take my telescopic rod and try to get some fishing in. Can anyone recommend any marks in Carrickfergus (won't have transport so they will need to be near the town) and let me know best baits / target species etc.? Also, does anyone know if there is a problem taking fishing tackle (hooks / leads etc.) in your hand luggage? Thanks.

From experience you cannot take leads or hooks in hand luggage anything sharp etc

Thanks, thought that may be the case. I'll just take rod and reel and buy the rest there and jujst have to ditch it when I leave.
