Good pollock, but I'm more impressed with taking a gar on the surface with a kilty. I'd have loved to have seen that. Nearly as much as I'd have loved to have done it myself!

Sounds like you were fishing a deep water mark..?
In April/May the fishing for bass with bait (lug in particular) couldnt be easier, just find water..!! :-)

well, we fished the iveragh peninsula for the last two years at rossbeigh, and various beaches along waterville including smugglers and ballinskelligs, day and night, in perfect conditions from slack water up using peeler king rag razor and lug, baits coming back untouched every cast, there were seven lads apparently from belfast way fished there two weeks previous to us with exact same results!! the only thing i would say is that we fished very small tides(8th to 12th september this year), maybe that wouldnt help matters, we had 40 prime peelers and 100 king rag in perfect condition along with lug and razor so maybe it would be better in bigger tides cos we had south westerly and westerly winds which gave a great surf :roll:
