Report:

Arrived in Waterford on Friday and collected some lug from the bassman himself. No surf so decided to try a local spot that oftem has fish on it without surf. There was a very strong W wind blowing straight offshore and so as expected the fish had gone to ground.

Met with Cortaz and of course he had caught several bass at low tide on plugs/spinners in the same area.

Next morning met him and 3 others for a spot of spinning. Only stayed an hour but in that time 3 nice bass caught by group. Ollie had one of over 10lb.... a real cracker.

I then had to head off to join the Burough SAC for a comp in Morriscastle. Conditions were quite good except for some weed. However, very few fish were caught with just 2 flounders winning the comp.

Thanks to Cortaz for some fab bait plus, as usual, expert advice.
