Report:Had the man flu all week,(i blame al and jordan!!)bloody marathon sessions!! had to cancell sundays session,but decided i was going out monday even if it killed me,met eireann predicted light rain so me and jason hit a beach known for the odd bass,we had got some cracking lug at a beach that matt told us about(thanks matt) real snakes so the confidence was high as we set up,no 1/0 hooks and snakes of lug/razor cocktails were tossed out into the third breaker(there was a great surf) and waited for our first bass and this is where it all started to go all wrong met eireann!!why do i listen to them?sunday forecast,torrintial rain and winds,nothing!nada!clear skys and no wind.Mondays forecast light winds and light rain,weather torrential rain and winds!!ba****ds!!!!!! 5 hours on the beach and all we got was a tiny turbot that was not even hooked!had tried to swallow the whole bait and could not cough it up as i reeled it in. we moved to another spot and finally connected with a few fish with rockling,doggies,huss,pollock and the dreaded pin whiting caught,gave up around 8pm and went home wet,cold and bassless!! and now im dying again

Bad luck on the bass, there is always next time

Thats a cracking rockling though (unless its a very small doggie next to it )

I dont use met eireann at all, have never found them to be anywhere near accurate.

I use accuweather which seems to be spot on, at worst they may be an hour or 2 out with there forecast....but I can live with that

hard luck on the bass doggie3131, but good move on changing location and getting in to a few fish
met- eireann i know what you mean, and agree i just peep out the window an hour before i head off, to check the weather

bless you you will have to travel i think at least you know where to go now

hard luck on the bass but at least you got a few fish for your efforts

least ye got a few fishies in the end , i was the same with bloody met eireann the weekend i was following the forecast for sunday evening and then its like they just swopped sundays ok forecast with mondays crap forecast

some great fish in there despite the lack of bass! well done!

jeez lads yous are game to be out in that weather - not a bad session at all - few weeks ago ya would have been delighted to get that turbot - yer spoilt now , you have been catchin that many:-)

that bass will come - by feck yous have earned a few

lookin forward to reading a report where you can write like eric - " not much to report lads, just a few bass an a heap of flatties"

davy

nice fishing lads. and yes Sunday was windy I was out in it.

today/tonight could be your day!!
give it a bass a bash!!
we are heading for the h.t. tonight to my local mark!

Hard luck on the Bass Noel again light rain in the west that's a first for me. I nearly drowned in what yis call light mist. Noel would you not just take a day off drive South and get your first Bass and put us all out of our misery

sounds like you have got a serious dose of the "Fish Flu" Noel, very contagious I've heard guess for a decent bass session you'll have to wait until around the 15th anyway, plenty of time to get well again, best wishes and don't tempt faith too much

cheers shamoo, its a good rockling got five that night,must try accuweather,but i think its geared for the east coast.

bless you you will have to travel i think at least you know where to go now

cheers neil,will try to get up all right,but i'd love to start with a west coast bass thanks again for the pm.

unlucky with the bass noel it will happen for you yet . just hope you do'nt end up covering the kind of mileage as we did for jordan's turbot if you do end up heading for the east coast with fishface or dave let us know and we can get a session in with you all remember,, i have free digs in meath we could crash out at, so the accomodation would be sorted . might even be worth making a few days outta it if it suits
