Weather:balmy

Bait:crab

Rigs:flappers and pulleys

Results:3 bass 7 coalis countless codling




Report:had planned to head to a west waterford beach but when i spotted the surf on youghal beach i couldnt resist it.set up and ready to fish at 8 headed down to the waterline and flicked a 3 hook flapper into the surf about 20 yards out.on the way back to put the rod onto the rest i could feel the tip of the rod pulling back towards the sea thought to myself will have to put heavier weight on for the next cast.stuck the rod into rest and straight away it jumped back out of rest and the tip was pulling seaward knew it was not the surf but a fish.landed my first bass of the year a few mins later.it weighed 4.69lb.the following two casts produced another 2 bass weighing in at 2.4lb and 1.2lb. not a bass to be seen after that. every cast for the night found the fish mostly small codling with the odd coali thrown into the mix packed up at around midnight and off home with a bass for the pan only took picture of the fish i kept all other fish were released after a quick weigh
