Wexford Bass 22 April 2010

People: Carpets and myself

Duration: 3 hours

Tide: Over the top

Weather: Fine/Clear

Bait: Lug & Frozen Crab

Rigs: 4/0 Pennel Pulleys

Results: 11 Bass, 1 Codling & 1 L.S.D.




Report:

A bit late with the report..

Barry and myself went out for a couple of hours to throw a abit of bait to tempt the Silver Bars that were avoiding our lures…

We done a quick stop enroute to dig a bit of Lug to go with a few frozen crab we had.

Arrived on location, geared up and set off to our mark. Conditions were what you expect from the recent settled weather, calm sea with no swell or surf, no breeze and the water was qite clear and warm !

Set up and the chosen gear for the evening for the both of us was a Tip Tornado LD matched with a 7ht loaded with 15lb/70lb Daiwa Tournament. At the business end we used a 4/o Pennel Pulley with 5oz Breakaway lead.

First cast and I was into a Bass, followed by 2 more in quick sucession, it was obvious the fish were feeding in the area with the rod tips lurching seaward at will. Missed bites, slack lines and talks of driving to Norway to fish if the planes are still grounded in August ! added to the excitment, while we hauled in the fish between photos.

In all we caught 11 Bass ( all schoolies) 1 Codling and 1 L.S.D.
All fish were caught on Lug at around 40 yards distance bar 1 Bass and 1 L.S.D. which took Barry’s frozen crab offering.
All fish were released and swam away well

nice return for 3 hours well done

Great fish.

Is anyone catching bass on frozen crab? It doesn't seem to have much of a hit rate.

I haven't tried using crab, razorfish and fresh lugworm have been the most reliable and successful baits for me.

great stuff lads

Poachers...!!

Well Done lads.
I had another two 2.5's just after you left...

Can't wait for the tides to come around again!

I'm going to really take a punt here, but is there any chance of getting a location for bass in Wexford, PM preferred of course? My last 2 trips to Wexford resulted in one trip not even being able to find a location, and the second one being stuck on a beach with swimmers, walkers etc which resulted in not even one cast being made???

Hard luck Danny, if your looking for any tips you know where I am.......

and the second one being stuck on a beach with swimmers, walkers etc which resulted in not even one cast being made???

Good Morning all.
Thanks for the comments.

It was a grand evening, gonna head out tonight over low water to a different mark. Lovely Southerly there at the moment driving the surf in.

Roobbie; you coming to Wexford again this year?
