Report:Myself and Alex Headed to Wicklow on a Bass Hunt, first of the new season. First Two casts resulted in weavers, Al then caught a succession of small Dabs then all went quiet for a while, allowing us to enjoy the stunning evening for a while. ’Bout an hour later I pulled in my first Turbot! A little one but a turbot none the less! (I’m nearly sure anyway?)
A small plaice followed shortly afterwards, and then in came the Dogs! I managed two doubles, they were like dragging in a dead donkey! Al missed 3 good takes which I’m convinced were Bass, before his rod got walloped by a 50 cm silver beauty!
He gave a powerful fight! Al was fishing in close on his Pike Rod! Using a rig I gave him from last Saturdays ECR leg 4, (tiny size 4 hooks!) What a catch for your first time shore angling!!!
Eventually surrendered to the dogs at 1.30 and headed home. Any one know how heavy that bass would be???
