Weather:cold ne wind

Bait:lug crab

Rigs:

Results:1 bass




Report:

spent the first 3 hours fishing a good surf without a bite so packed up and moved to another mark where i met eeler and his mate setting up ,felt more confident of catching a fish now after seeing eelers 2 bass from the previous week, not from this mark though but i knew he knew where to catch them. first cast and straight into a fish ,maybe only a little over a pound but my first bass since 2008 :D stayed on for maybe an hour but the lines were like clothes lines after only a minute and with the cold NE breeze i'd had my fill. :D :D 8)

was a hell of a wait allthough i did'nt fish for them much last year, too busy with chasing tope and huss ,but theres just something about landing a bass.

Well done. Good to see a reward for the time you put in. Hope you didn't catch on the old rod or you'll never part with it.

cheers guys, im not expert on bass fishing but what i have learned is to fish for them in rough seas where theres plenty of drifting weed , hopefully the next one will be a bit bigger

cheers declan, fishing for seatrout in the estuary was for me last year my best ,changed tactics and had great results ,hoping this year will be even better,take it you moved to waterford, lucky you ,expect a pm after the ban.
