First lure caught bass 09....

Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:06 pm

Fished two marks today with a friend, first spot has produced some nice sea trout in the last few years around this time, I fished with plugs for bass and the friend fished a kilty type lure dont know the name of it but it worked he hooked a nice sea trout on the droping tide round the 3lb mark fought like a demon he took the lure very deep and was bleeding bad so had to give him a knock on the head, dont worry had licences...
Second mark, now my secret mark :lol: is on the copper coast lovely spot fished it for 2 hours on a rising tide, in the first few casts met a nice little bass on the maria angel kiss.... happy days nice start to the plugging season, out again 2moro :D

Nice catch. But I think 3lb is a bit generous on the sea-trout.
My guess would be 2 1/4lb.

Hi

Well done on the fishing. nice to see the lures working again. Down in Waterford tonight but sadly not fishing - work! Be careful with the photos, I recognise one of those marks from the rocks. Bass being so localised, you would do well to keep the background very plain - sand, weed etc. otherwise some people will be able to locate your "secret" marks without your help!

FWIW

The Copper Coast is a big place as you know....

Pity you didn't weigh him. I would see how close I was.

I'm very used to guessing the weight of fish showing. Usually not that far off.
