dublin on the full moon and rain

wanting to get out for ages and managed to dig a few lug and pick up a few peelers from the shoreline rocks.
9pm headed out for a rising tide
went to my local dublin mark and got soaked before i even set up my gear!
i found a sheltered spot and was fishing by 10.
water was still low but i was hopeful of a bite or 3!
northerly winds were horrible but i found a spot to avoid them,(tightlines on here knows the mark )
i missed a good knock from the rod rest!
but the next cast produced a nice 45ish cm bass on the crab.
unhooked from the landing net and away with no pic as it was so gnissip rain!
i missed 2 more solid rod benders from the rod rest and packed up around 1.
happy to get out at last and one bass was a gift!
moral is, hold yer rod and catch more fish

Nice one Thomas,,,,,,,,,,,fair play to you ,,youre off again at that mark .

Fair play rusty.....that mark is good to you !!! Tis gonna be a cold one this weekend but I for one will be out there....

those bass will keep you on your toes thomas i remember when we were down in kerry i noticed that a lot of the locals were fishing just 1 rod on the beaches with no tripod, just stood there all day with the rod in hand must be something to it

only way to fish for them, keeps everythign simple and you can keep mobile.

well done tom was going to do a bit myself on wenesday but when i seen the weather i gave it a miss well done on geting the bass

:lol: those Bass will keep you on your toes thomas i remember when we were down in kerry i noticed that a lot of the locals were fishing just 1 rod on the beaches with no tripod, just stood there all day with the rod in hand must be something to it

yer spot on Al & J and when using a little spinning rod for a good scrap i should just leave the rod rest at home . makes sense too in the wind for bite detection!
no slackliners this time just mental drive and drops! no second chances!
