Report:meet yorkshire man for the first time at this "famous bass beach" in co sligo,we introduced ourselves and got fishing in double quick time,there were bass to be caught i was quickly into a flounder,only small but things were looking good,mike was into a better flounder about fifteen minutes later but things went quiet,it did not help that this beach is a gently sloping beach with a long walk out thru the water to get a cast,and me with no wellies good job the water was warm was chatting with mike about two hours into the session when his rod went mental FISH ON,he had a nice bend in the rod but the fight was funny,ended up being a doggie the first one mike ever had at this beach well I WAS there!doggies tend to follow me around the coast that was it for the night, not another bite,even the crabs left us alone.nice beach and it was a pleasure to meet mike,we will be back!

well done noel on the flounder,the bass are hard to find on the west coast,keep at it and you will be rewarded soon

Well done lads, hard luck on the bass but they can show up when you least expect it, keep it up, and that looks like a decent flounder there. Dont forget the wellies next time

nice session guys, pity the bass didn't play ball for yous but there's always another day, a few nice flounder there to guys well done

Sounds like a challenge name the venue for the return leg so

haha bloody flounders Noel! imagine that. a fishing trip with you Noel and co is well worth the mileage! you will get yer bass, just like the flounder! solunar chart is anti fish at the mo if you are to go by cortaz "predictable fishing" report, and it works for me! if you don't get yer bass come to dublin and you might even get a rare whiting too
it won't be too long Noel til the line wizzes off with a bass or two!
keep up the reports.

pity i coulnt get across lads - and at least you picked up a few fish - I've been getting withdrawal symptoms

will be interesting to see if a few more bassies appear from that spot if they get targeted a bit more,

good luck with the hunt!
