Report:Not much to report for the first 3 hours but the fella along side me with 1 bass and a fella up the beach with 2 bass .so i was hopeful of getting at least one but as it started to get dark nothing not a bite .move to a part of the beach that has turned up a bass for me in the past it was about 2 hours before low water which i find on this beach is always a good time .didnt have to wait long before the rod got a great bang and a nice bass just under 4lb.then got a good knock again a big beast of a flounder took the 2 hooks down his neck didnt weigh him but he was one of the biggest i have had so happy with him.just before i was going to pack up got one more rattle a bass about 3.5lb.dont think i will get much more bass on this beach due to a net on it but i hope im wrong

he was from the tip of my fingers to my elbow about 41cm

fine few fish

nice fishies there ray, thats a big lug worm too coming out of the mouth of the bass in the 2nd pic

Well done on the bass, nice flounder too.
I reckon I was fishing the western end of the next beach to the west of you last night - I did see a headlamp earlier in the night.
What makes you think there is a net there?
I fished that beach on Saturday afternoon for a while (until the wind and rain got too bad), there was a red marker bouy about 400 m out from the eastern end of the beach, I couldn't see any other bouys so thought it was a lobster pot marker. Is that what you saw?

nice going on the bass,,,seems to be a few big flounders moving in,,,

Hi Frank,

That must have been you I passed in the carpark at 8:30. I went down to watch the moon come up.

Hi Pat,
Yes I guess that was me, I arrived just as the moon was beginning to rise.
Nice night to be out, I had three bass (largest 52 or 53 cms) plus a 42 cm flounder.

some fine fish there well done

nice going ,well done

Had a few fatty flats and small schoolie sat night despite the wind and rain from that stretch,lonely spot with no other lights there .A lot of rumours about recent netting down there but think about it is anyone who knows the area suprised .
Fine fish Ray by the way ,that will be a right porky flat come the autumn

Ah Mike you know yourself its only a matter of time before its gets hammered i say it has been already .but still some fine flats there

Congrats Ray, some fine fish and an overall good session. Well done!

Razor well done on mighty haul

some really respectable fish there man. well done

I thought I saw nets there last year (bouys anyway) and made a post here. I got a PM off a local who would ask around... turned out it was lobster pots... that stretch is also a very good place for lobster. I go diving in a bay west of there and there are always lobsters and pots around, I was told its teh same guy who moves his pots up and down the stretch...

But then again... there have been a lot of reports here about east cork bass so..........

The only way to know for shure is to head out to the bouy and see what boat its registered to...

Lovely flounder BTW.

Nice few fish. Good to meet you last night. All we had were flounders all night. Nothing massive either. We were hoping for a bass over low water but the weather turned well nasty so we took off at about 9.45. The lads fishing up from us had 6 bass alright but we got preoccupied flattie bashing so probably missed the run of them.
