Tide: 20:00

Fantastic couple days fishing of the beach in wexford. Some real specimen fish. From the first cast on the Saturday I had a cracking smoothound easily 7 or 8 pound.

Strong westerly breeze but had the tent up to keep out of the breeze. The baby tope where destroying the rag. A couple times I had a treble of tope with pups plaice and whiting.

Beautiful bass as the evening went on and at least 30 doggies over the 2 days. Bass was returned safely. I had one huge bite which just sat every time I tried to real in. I say maybe a big ray which eventually snapped the leader knot.

I wasn't planning on fishing a second day but the fishing was so good had to get back out. Was sick I didn't buy more bait the fishing was that good. Few photos below of the catch on the weekend.

Cheers,

Joe
