Report:after our last trip to darkest wexford not turning up one bass we decided to head to a wicklow strand for some more local fishing ,the lads where set up and had already got a few fish when i arrived ,the surf was huge considering it wasnt windy at all must have eased in the late afternoon from the first cast to the last we had nearly a fish a cast and where kept busy all night ,big baits on pennels didnt produce any whoppers at distance or any decent codling but at least we had fun with the little uns hopping of our baits, rag outfished lug by miles for me with lug only taking two bass and a few whiting,
hi to cw1 (john )who was down the other end of the beach to me and came over to say yellow nice to meet a new site member i,m sure we will see more of you down wickla way over the summer
i think gordy is gonna get some chest waders soon not a nice feeling as the water hits your feet and reaches your waist under your jacket when you have thigh waders on burrrrrrrr

Super stuff lads at least you were kept busy, im planning a dawn raid to see if the bigger ones fancy some big juicy lug for their brecky.

well done, good report.

Hi Roger, nice to meet yourself and the lads. I didn't fair aswell as yourselves... with a whopping big final count of ZERO, Blankety Blank ( I even got the cheque book and pen ) Great to be out though!!!

Nice to meet you John and hard luck on the blank. Sorry for the cliché but things picked up for an hour or so after you left.

nice one lads pleanty to keep busy by the sound of it.. well done...

Great session there Roger ,,,,,great to see them making an appearance . Couldnt make it Friday,then couldnt get there last night and had to settle for a lift to Greystones instead ,,,,,,,,,,,,got a few fish but was thinking about what might have been on that Wicklow Strand .Interesting about the rag v lug

good fishing lads.I know now where I am going next week

All I had was lug

on my three hook flap i used rag and lug and even changed the rag from top to bottom to middle for each cast and rag outfished the lug by miles the whiting and codling went for the lug but the bass homed in on the rag i had two trebles with bass on rag and codling and whiting on lug so i supose they both fished well

Sounds like a hell of a trip nice one on the silver chaps!!

Howdy,
New to the site. Great fishing lads. Thought I recognised the pebbles in your pics so I headed out there this evening. No surf but still managed a couple of bass @ 26cm and 30cm. Next time you should move all the little stones out of the frame.

its inspector cluso

all the pics where taken in exactly the same spot with stones and seaweed added for each pic to put off pebble detectives and sand inspectors

excellent session guys good to see plenty of healthy young bass about.

great catch their lads, dont know if the grippers were really necessary though looks like their faces are being crushed in anyway good to see the fish are coming back in

nice fishing lads well done

the gripper means you dont touch the fish, do less damage to its slime and can unhook them with less stress ,try putting your thumb in a small ones mouth along with a size 1 hook! the gripper does no damage what so ever or i woudnt use it !
