waterford bass 17.9.09

i went to a mark at first light this morning tide was dropping i tried a z claw from the rocks for about half an hour no joy.so i moved down to the beach and put on a patchinko on and first cast i hit a bass he gave me a good scrap a quick photo on the phone and put him back.i wasnt expecting a hit first cast and i was tightening in to the lure and bang of course i was looking around taking in the scenery and missed seeing the take but what harm i got it in thats the main thing that was about 8 o clock i gave it another 30 minutes and then packed up

nice bass well done

That's a nice bass you caught there, gr8, well done.
It's not long before I go down to Co.Kerry to fish for them, I can't wait.
Reading all the reports of other people catching them is making me even more excited than I already am .

nice fish well worth the early start

Well done and a great pic from the phone
