Report:I was mad to get out for a session before the blow this weekend so I headed out this morning and dug a few lug . Headed to the beach straight away .
The water looked promising wit some nice breakers rolling in it looked very fishey .
I set up in the middle of the beach , alternating from the flapper rig to the pulley each cast .
No bites all afternoon , was just casting my last bit of bait and POOF my first birds nest of 2009 NICE so I packed up and headed for home . Gonna give it another lash Monday for my first bass of 09 with a bit of luck there will be some fish around .

sun./mon./tue. shoud be good, monday afternoon looks like the best day,

looks like tight lines for Monday winds should have eased off then too

should have gone to bray head

what oz grippers were you using craigo to keep your gear nailed to the sea bed? that surf looks rough enough.

that pic looks fairly normal for tramore wouldnt say it was a big surf looks good for a bass or two i,d say you stood a fair chance of a bass or a flounder just nobody told the fish!!
hey lets face it thats fishing for ya!!!!

craigo, go back to same spot mon. or tue. bet u will get a few.........................the moon not the wind, not the tide,not the surf, not the A.P., not the bait, not the rod or reel or rigs or anything else, the moon.......simple...get it right and thats 90% of bass fishin "sorted"..honest

what about cod ?art do you think they would show up on the rough ground more in line with the moon phase ?

I was using 6oz impact leads . had no trouble holding bottom yesterday !

Usually I would agree , but yesterday while digging lug I found a long net with two long ropes on either end for dragging I'd say . It had washed up in the back strand God knows how much damage it did before it washed up . And It is not the first time nets have washed up . Last year a net washed up on Fitzgeralds strand with fish still in it bass and mullett .

So my confidence for Tramore is not what it used to be . There are still fish being cought but not as many !
