Report:didnt fancy the wicklow tides so headed into dublin hw 9pm decided to give the berkley saltwater gulp peeler a test had two rods out both with rag on the bottom hook gulp on middle hook and rag on top hook , the rag was getting nibbled by small flounder for the first hour then as soon as dusk arrived wollop down went the rod tip and after a spirited fight my only bass / fish of the session was landed and yes to my suprise on a rubber crab !!! i must admitt i am not a huge fan of artificial baits but it is handy to know a pack of them might get you out catching if you dont have time to get the real thing. I took this fish for the pot i hadnt eaten dinner and couldnt resist it (sorry jim h)

have a bag of them berkley crabs myself and never bothered to try them, interesting they worked i never used them and dont even know why i bought them . heading out tonight for a session may give them a go will let ya know how i get on with them. should work for the wrasse aswell, but hard not to use real bait when ya have it. will defo try them now.

At least you were honest Roger and didnt pretend you threw it back.
I had a few Dublin bass this time last year but havnt managed to get out half as much this year. Women and Alcohol.......bad fishing combination..!

they work well for wrasse basher but they dont last long with those teeth, and they are not cheap really

nice bass well done

Nice one Rod,,,,....I was nearly going to hop out of the chair and drive down when I got your photio!!!
