Southern Comfort in Co. Wexford

With the wind backing around south for the first time in ages I ventured out for my first surf session of 2012. Digging fresh black lug supplemented with SEBS peeler I chose a mark based on direction of surf and the ability to stay weed free. It paid off but the bass (that is big bass didn't show). Schoolies averaging 1.kilo in abundance (I lost count) along with good flounder and a large hound.

Nice one man good to see the bigger hounds starting to show down that way

Great report, nice to see a decent hound showing this early. Fished one of the wexford beaches last week but it was too soon from the blow that was on.

Good report

nice hound great read too

Great report good to see the hounds are around I tryed a few hound marks around south Wexford the weekend only dogs and flounders to show for my time.

Great report ash and what a way to kick of your first session of the year

Great stuff Ashley,,,really whets the appetite

Good stuff fine hound where's good for the hounds around Wexford never caught one I usually go Cahore or around that area I'm not looking for your exact mark just the general area

Thanks John

Ashley great read and cracking fish congrats great to see the larger hounds starting to show.

Thanks for the nice comments lads, the hound caught me by surprise actually although I have caught them this early.

I've had hounds on the beaches from Carnsore to Cullenstown (nearly always to black lug) and on my home patch in and around Arklow/Gorey from mid to late June onwards, evening into darkness.

Thanks I'll keep them places in mind cheers
