nice to see a few bass are back in clonea :), a good day of fishing :D :D, seems like fluoro carbon really matters in this condition :!: :!:

Hey Cortaz

Usually though there would be damage on both sides of the fish

Nice fishing Cortaz. Look like gill nets to me. Had a Bass in Waterville over Easter and he had the same marks in the same place.

there gillnet marks alright, i can tell from the mark that the mesh was 3.5 or 3.75in...
Conditions are now near perfect for surf-fishin on clonea (@1.30pm.25/4) think anyone who fishes there today/tonite would get a few bass..................i will :) 8)

or even 9.5mm mesh.... Good luck tonight, underage hurling matches are killing me.

nice weather too :? my chopper is arriving on monday that will cut down the time to get down , 8)
