Co. Dublin beach - 04/11/07

People: me

Duration: 16:30-17:15 (yep, 45 mins only)

Tide: high @ 19:46

Weather: mild and calm

Bait: surface lures

Results: 2 bass

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report: Had an hour to spare so I decided to get a bit of fresh air. Didn't realise how slow people drive on Sundays though! :evil: Started with a white body/red head pencil. Nothing. 10 mins later I changed to a Yo-Zuri Hydropopper, mackerel pattern. First cast, BANG!! 4 lb bass!! :shock: Few runs from side to side, reel screaming... UFF!! Couple of pics and back into the water. I moved a few feet to my right, and 10 mins later, another BANG!! :twisted: 3 lb this time. Few pics, and again back into the sea. This time it was caught in video. :P It was AMAZING to see how they attacked the lure in such a calm sea!

ADVICE: 2 bass in half an hour!! So if you have 30 mins and are thinking, shall I go?, GET OUT THERE! :wink:

congrat on the bass.....they still around...

Well done, good fishing. Nice to be able to use surface lure aswell.

Nice one there ive yet to get a bass.

nice plump bass 8) well done ,did a bit of night popping in greystones tonight no takes but nice on such a calm night ,one day ,or night i will hook up on a popper :lol:

i was down in Dungarvin spinning with poppers recently and i found that the saltiga popper from diawa is well worth the buy tried alot of different poppers and rapalas and the saltiga worked wonders had 5 good bass that day. Its a fantastic way to fish for bass the buzz you get when you see the fish snapping at your lure.

thats a lovely fish you got there i would love to catch a bass on a lure in dublin

feel free to pm the spot to me thanks :?:

Which Dublin Beach was this?

Thank you lads! It was fantastic. I'm still recreating it over and over.

Jack, Brian, keep trying. They're still there!!

And I'm sorry for those of you who asked, but I was asked to keep this mark quiet.....

I'm not looking for the exact beach, but was wondering of ot was north county or south county Dublin?
