People:myself, the brother and the Russian

Duration: 19-03.00

Tide:HT @ 3am

Weather: pleasant

Bait: rag,mack,squid

Rigs:flappers

Results:Bass 40cm, pup hounds, bull Huss, flounder, more dogs than you could shake a stick at.




Report:A good night fishing in surprisingly summery weather(weed free!)The Russian (Alexey) strutted onto the beach at 20.30, and landed a welcome 40cm bass within 15 mins! We released him after a few pics and quickly baited up again, thinking that the next bass was only a cast away... Not to be! Another angler landed a fine bass further down the beach but this was the last bass we saw that night, he must have been over 80cm!A solid slab of silver.
All was quiet for a while then in came the dogs, the brother Ciarain landed a pup hound and was very pleased with his first hound, I can't wait to see him land a bigger one.
I finished the night up at 3ish with a Huss and dog on my line, first Huss so well pleased

Will post pics later as on iPhone at the mo

great fishing lads how big was the bull huss

Really this bass 40 cm ? Did you stretched the fish to get it into the legal size limit ?

I released yesterday 39cm ...

Of course this bass was released, and..... by a foreign national! What? No fish soup?
Unfortunately the other bass down the beach ended up in a bag, pity, but he is feeding his family with it so what can you say?

nice one on the huss the bass in wicklow go somewhere else when they get to 39.5 cm

Nice one Kgarr the second pic down is a baby tope

Well done ! Took also yesterday 48cm bass home, just cooking now
But stop pressing the foreign nationality button, really hate that labeling !
Just on the pic the fish looks way smaller than 40cm. Never mind, nothing personal here, i always loved fishermens stories

first of all mate great fishing and great result for the east coast and the nose on the tope is a lot longer than on a hound cant realy tell from the photo but keith maybe right also tope have teeth and hounds dont

Nice fishing mate ! , the dorsal fin in a pup tope is black at the tip which you can clearly see in your photo and a pup hound hasn't got that .
