Report:
Went out on Saturday evening full of hope with a rising sea temperature and a nice easterly breeze chopping the surf up. What a disappointment it was Not a darn bite all night, baits were being reeled in untouched even by crabs.

We varied baits, rigs, hook sizes and casting distance. Anglers came down from Benone and Castlerock with the same story.

Bit of a bummer all told, good job i'm not needing them for the dinner

hi monty - they have been thin on the ground this last wee while but keep at it man, one of these days you'll have a great session and you'll get a few. i only know of one caught recently but i'll pm you where.

think the easterly didnt help matters much up on north coast this week past... very little feeding

Hang on in there. They are about all right. as the old saying goes...hang a bollock out in the breeze and see what way the knob turns...that saying has served me well for years.

Er..one to pass on to the grandchildren there Going to do a bit of macky bashing this weekend to build up the bait reserves. Bass taking the piss right now

Cheers lads,
Monty

hard luck monty
the bass fishing on the north coast can be patchy at the best of times as you know man.
so fair play for sticking at it. i don't reckon i'd have the patients for it myself.
