Congatulations M.B3!

Well done Mark! That is some Bass! Good to see the Bull Wall still can come up with the goods. I'm sure you put a lot of time in there before that success but it is great to see. Fair play releasing the fish too. A photo and an anglers word is all that is required in my book! Did it fight hard? what sort of winds were blowing that night? :wink:

thanks Luke. fish took on a calm evening with little surf. fished right into the whitewater, about 20yards out. nice to feel something swimming out into the bay for a change with the drag humming a merry tune! i gave up on long sessions for these fish, pick a likely time and fish for an hour or two as much as you can. your bound to get one eventually.

What area of the bull wall was it , or is it a secret! The bass fishing in dublin bay is really picking up, my mates uncle had an 8lb bass from red rock while plugging last week and lost a bigger one when trying to pick it up out of the water!

Fair Play m.b3!

thanks George. it's no secret! everyone knows where bass are caught but just don't bother trying enough (i think)! i am not going to give the exact spot away for all to see though!

tried to get some of that reflective tape in sutton dinghy supplies today- 12 euro for 2 meters! i hadn't got enough! at least he has it though.

tried to get some of that reflective tape in sutton dinghy supplies today- 12 euro for 2.5 meters! i hadn't got enough! at least he has it though.

€ 12 :shock: What type was it you got! The type I bought for €2 there was the solas reflective tape, only at the start of the year there. Bloody high inflation :P

Tried the bull wall myself for a few hours this morning, near the steps into the city side. Not a sausage, though my frozen crabs were pretty manky.
Tried fishing the dollymount side, nothing either. The swell can take you by surprise there, can't it? Suddenly came outta nowhere!
