3 Blanks on the bounce....

Mon Oct 17, 2011 2:01 pm

Last 3 outings has been terrible and not good at all. Me and a few lads went out and blanked in 3 different occasions on different marks... Not a good sign... Marks are all in Clare... I am getting ready to make a good report after every session. Unfortunately there is nothing to report but bad experience... Last Saturday's session would be the last for this year for Clare and we would be trying other marks... this is becoming frustrating.

Any mark suggestion to boost the morale back up???

Tight Lines!!!

east coast or south coast of wexford?

Mainly east coast I've only been fishing south Wexford 3 times in last couple of months.

I think either is good though. I know a few lads in Wexford town who seem to always catch a few when they fish. The last bass I got was south Wexford.
