Report:
fished lettergesh last night, i never fished it in the dark so i wanted to give it ago... anyway it was very quite... nothing landed but on the other hand i thought i would share this ,,,, about 2an half hours into the session the rod got a sudden bite nothing like i have seen before 2 to3 sharp pull overs and then the rod just took off iwas fishing right in front of the car park and had casted out to the left,,, got the rod in hand and could feel a fish on but it wasnt a flattie or ray or doggie it took me right down the the right of the beach it just kept pulling and pulling i knew it was a fish the rod tip was hopping anyway after about 10 min i got to make a bit of ground onit,, but then the sound all anglers hate, snap, the line broke,,, anyway just woundered if anyone else that fishes there came accross this before............

Early tope?

not sure,,, lettergesh would not be known for tope, but ha who knows.........

Early tope?

maybe it was john bishop still coming across the channel.

BullHuss?

mullet? - the odd one gets caught in comps, usually big

I am thinking bull huss as well,I was fishing with a fellow one night and his rod was pulled off the stand and down the beach,he landed a huss about 4 or 5 lbs,the huss took the lug worm he had out

Never heard of huss on that beach before, did hear of a (6 inch!) tope alright, but never any big ones.

Seal maybe? What bait were you fishing, and what breaking strain snoods?

Has bass writin all over it.........a big 1

Cant help myself thinking bass too Alan, probably the fish of a lifetime you've missed there, ah well...

Sounds like a big bass,I had d same story last year down south,never saw it,fought for a good 20 mins,maybe more,thought it was tiring until it took off like a steam train and didn't stop this is what keeps us interested I suppose!!

first of all unlucky alan

my guess would be bull huss i was talking to a lad over there last year and he does a lot of diving out off lettergesh and said he has seeing lot of big huss out off the beach but i guess you will never no

Hard Luck Alan, have to agree with the lads on it maybe being a Bass but hey things like this keep us going

ha Bradan.... same as that regards huss from that beach i have fished it for 12 years now and never had a huss from it, doggies alright,, anyway i was fishing a two hook rig, top hook sandeel bottom hook lug tiped with razor,,, main rig body 50lbs with 20lbs snoods with 1/0 abberdeens... it was not the trace that snap it was the main line to the shock leader,, only put new 18lb diawia tourmenment main line with 50lbs shock leader. have see and heard myself about the same happening around the conor in little killary........

Be the hookie, that's a quare one alright.
I'd say it was probably a Bull Huss alright, by the sounds of things.
Hard luck anyway.
It's one of tjose stories you can retell to your grandchildren, I suppose.
About the one that got away.

Iv had a few big Huss the last few but they never fought anything like that! Sounds mental, i would say big bass if you asked me!

I'd say it got the adrenalin goin,a shame simply Alan,u could fish that same spot nite after nite,same rig,same bait and not get that samebite again,hope it was able to shake the rig

ahh alan,, gutted for ya man
sounds like it could have been a fish of a lifetime man
i guess you'll be camped out there for the next few weeks chasing that bad boy now

that was hard luck alan,,sounds like a bass and a whopper at that,,,,
