You can even catch bass on an unbaited hook :shock: :shock: :shock:

I am going to have to head over to Dungarvan next week - sick of catching nothing but dogfish on the East Cork beaches for the last month :evil: :evil:
All the East Cork bass must have gone to Waterford for their holidays - apart from the one your "son" caught in Inch :lol: :lol:

i owe ther state enough as it is, on the dole 25 years :) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D , so they can keep it :) , went back out from 1 to 3pm. had a hit on most casts landed about 10, lost about 10 and missed lots more, it made no differnce what lure i tryed whitin a cast or 2 it was gettin hammered. might have something to do with rapidly riseing air pressure??.+ wind startin to swing to the s.w., would think there will be a big improvement in catchs over the next few days, would also expect to get a few bream, i will post some pics. later, think this computer is knackered, nothing seems to work right/fast, if it dosent cop its self on i going to give it a good kicking :x :D

t.b.h. the week was tuff enuff 8) , the second hook had snagged on the fishes side/fin, made it feel twice as big, had a hard job to land it, it was a diving lure and i had been winding it hard in to the sand in 3ft water, its a good way to get them to take, the plug is ....like plowing across the seabed kickin up a lot of sand, you get savage takes :shock 8) 8)
