predictable fishing.

yep, and 52 Bass the 1s i got were imported from japan, if i can find the adress i,ll post it Henrys tackle in dublin stock them @ E 21 not cheap but worth it, almost impossable to lose..........well i managed to leave 2 of em in fish
in the passed month i fished with over 20 other anglers.......... not 1 of em got a Bass!!!!! same /baitrigs/lures, ect. any ideas??? [/quote]


err, yeah.
don't bring any rod yerself!

sat.& sun. are looking very promising, perfect surf forecast along with excellent sulunar phases, so there shoud be some excellent baitfishin on the south coast,.............might be the weekend to try for a 10lb+..........feck the small fellas.............i am goin have a go full razors 10/15 meters out for the dusk/h.w. on both days.................................the "thing" will be on me now were did i leave my "bass charm" .......its not to often when conditions become perfect, so try and get out, if you find a mark with fish you could "load up" i will

I have planned to be fishing from Saturday morning from dawn till dusk and then again on sunday .
With a bit of luck Tramore will produce a specemin for me !!

Thought i would add the best times to the best dates.

Sat.13th. 8/10.30am...11/2pm....4/7pm. best hour from 4/5pm.

Fri. 26th. 11/1pm...2/5pm.

Sat.27th. 11/2pm...3.30/5.30pm........best hour of month 12/1pm

Hi Cortaz, im gonna try to get out on saturday, im in Inishowen up north, will there be much variation in the times that you've stated above for waterford and me in inishowen?
The info im getting of that us naval site for my coords is as follows:

SR is 08.48
ST is 12.24
SS is 16.00

MS is 10.12
MR is 16.29
MT is 0.45

paddy, i checked it out and theres only slight variations in sulunar times between north%south, (about 20 mins.) so you are spot on

Thanks Cortaz, but I was thinking that different tide times would effect the best fishing times?

Again for tomorrow, at the mark im thinking about going
ht 07.11
lw 13.34
ht 19.38

All your reports seem to be for Bass fishing, does this solunar theory effect all fish in the same way?

paddy, the tides are about 90 mins. earlter down here, not to sure how it would affect your area, i.m.o. it wont matter a great deal,,,, it effects all fish that i have fished for sea/fresh. ,,reasons for mostly bass reports, i am an bassaddict throughtout the yrs. i have fished for lots of other fish...........in last few months i/we have had catches of over 20 t.b. rays in a session, another day we had 7 plaice 2 over 3lb. 10 mullet in 90 mins. 5 2lb.+flukes in an hour 1 day 2 wks back,,,,,,, had 2 specimen g.h.b. in session.........cud go on ......2 specimen bass on livebait, both over 11lb.....3, 4lb.+ coddling on the same trace....theres only so much that i report on, mostly bass just 1 more, our best day at pollock last summer about 700lb. and inbetween all that i did a fair bit of river fishin.... next yr. i will post all my catch reports in a bit more detail

Thanks for the info!

u shoud have stayed at home

I should have, first time I ever seen ice on my fishing rod

Nice one Cortaz . I'm heading out tomorrow for a few hours hope there might be a few fish around .

good luck craigo
sun./mon./tue. shoud be good, monday afternoon looks like the best day,

seening as theres a big surf on the south coast thought this might help anyone how intends fishing any cresent shaped beach.
the surf will be at its biggest at the extream easteren end, and smallest at its westeren end,
IE. if its 6 ft. at eastern end then it will be 3/4ft. in the middle and only 1/2 ft. at the western end.

3 pics. of clon. taken on same/time shows the difference in surf hights,
pic. 1 surf at 1/2 ft. pic. 2 surf at 3/4 ft. pic. 3 surf at 6 ft. so when the surf to big to fish at the east end say its 15 ft. then it will be less than 5ft. at the westweren end, and easy to fish.

just tinkin
have a look at the catch reports for the 25&26th. , not only the numbers but the variety..............there are more fish reported for these 2 days than rest of the month combined? ........wen ur good yr good the number of "firsts" reported on da 25th. not ta mention the 250/300? fish caught in the s.a.i. comp,...how many 2 and 3 shots were reported ........i even heard of someone had landed a fin whale somewere up da country on lugs

maybe this should be made a sticky, then i can always find out the best days to go fishing and end up working

I can only fully agree to that

... imported from japan, if i can find the adress i,ll post it ...

do you mean these ones here SK? http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... IF:IE:1348
I tried them last year, very sharp hooks and fair enough quality for the money, considered loosing them to snags anyway at some stage
