Report:We thought the West/South westerlies stirring things up would have brought a few bass on the feed but alas it wasn't to be - well not on lures for us anyway. As you can see we threw a lot at it. If I'm chucking lures at nothing in particular I'm delighted with a sea trout but when I'm targetting bass I'm disappointed when I land one. He swam away when I was cleaining him in the water for his photo - slimey git. He was under a pound.

Fair play John even the seatrout beats the blank nice fishing

A sea trout is a lovely catch but you know how it is - when you're targetting a different species any other species is a slight disappointment. Most certainly better than a blank though!



Thanks,
John D.

Fair play to you John,

I nearly headed West Waterford way myself only I was in no shape after going to the Leinster game on Saturday.
Shouldn't be too long before it gets going down that way.
