Clare 16th +17th

People:Myself Saturday joined by Joe on Sunday
Duration: about 4 hours both days
Tide:Rising
Weather: hellfire and brimstone Saturday, bit of wind Sunday
Bait: lug, razor, sandeel squid and mac
Rigs:Pullies for me, 3 hook flappery thing for joe
Results:! small bass
Report:
With the weather clearing I headed of to dig from one of my marks, rain and a lot of freshwater run off made digging hard but I got some good quality worm, I moved to another mark to bring up the quantity of worm. It looked like this mark had seen some serious digging recently with massive trenches which hadnt been backfilled still showing after a few tides.
Headed out West and spent the next few hours witnessing the full spectrum of weather conditions. No fish showing.
I promised to meet Joe, Sunday so he could test his rod that Santa brought him. I dont like the mark but I believe others have been successful there. Nothing for the first couple of hours then one small bass
Joe followed up with a cracking carrier bag, which we both agreed put up a better scrap than my bass. He made up for no fish with his happiness with his new long rod which managed to punch a 6oz lead way out into the headwind
It was time to go home when the local hunt started charging up and down the beach

Hi Neil, some conditions there on Saturday 
We had hard going on Sunday for lug, we found good ones but were very deep had only time to look in one spot. Well done on the Bass, we were delayed on Sunday getting to our mark thanks to another hunt 
Regards
Seamus

Unfortunatley the bag became very pale and lifeless when it was landed, Joe held it at arms length and stretched it out and in the shots it looked more like a bin liner than a carrier
