all this talk of bass in wicklow got me fired up for the drive from bettystown so i decided on bray, handy enough to get to and if the rain didnt stop i could always fish from the pier using the jeep for shelter but luckily enough the rain held off and the moon came out ,the sea was lumpy everything was perfect but was this the bass mark in wicklow not at all ,i knew that but was hoping i was wrong. set up two 12ft carp rods and cast them out ,one about 70 yds and the other around 20. now to make a brew and settle in .was two hours later before i finally managed a cuppa as it was all go from the start , bites really showed up on the lighter tackle, ended up with 6 codling just under the lb mark and 3 smaller coalies,missed several other good bites, the usual, lighting up a smoke ,taking a leak so who knows maybe even missed a bass, probably not .sandeel was by far the best bait on the night all fish returned safely to fight another night.
now to find that bass mark hmmm any clues,and not the stones.

great report. Its always when your lighting a smoke or on the phone!!!!

Nice fishing. Was it the beach or the pier that you fished from in the end?

jes' al that was one rough night, i could hardly get the back gate open cus' the wind was so strong, there was even brass monkeys running about crying an you went out fishing in it

Fair play to you plumster you had bitter cold nights fishing on the harbour wall but you stuck it out. Last time i fished bray i got a small conger just between the two piers.

Ooooooooo look who it is. The fella who accuses people of blanking

because they don't put up pictures and you put none up yourself?????

ive got the pics but to be honest ive forgtten how to resize them ,my son did it for me last time and that was before christmas and between now and then i hav'nt stopped blanking so i take back what i said to you maybe i'll get him to add them when i see him this weekend but i cant see them making it into any fishing mags

hows the fishing being for you STILL BLANKING
