Dublin and Wicklow 5/10th and 7th /10

Tides were great this weekend, HT 9.30 pm and 11.00 pm. Lovely SW wind, still a bit of weed about. I used only Slug-Go and Waveworm, weedless but with a split shot 3.0 g at the head to give it a bit of a drop. I got some Schoolies on Friday evening and a 68cm Bass, lovely fish, well chuffed with that. On Sunday I got 1 schoolie and I got an amazing hit on the Waveworm, stripped my reel and at one stage I wondered how I would land it, it just kept running, after an epic scrap I managed to land it and it was a beautiful fat Bass of 84cm in length, not sure of the weight but it was the best fighting fish I have ever landed. This year has been absolutely fantastic for me as regards Bass fishing on the East coast, perhaps the best I ever had. I only had 1 blank all season and that was down in Co. Kerry at the end of June, strange times indeed. Cheers.

Well done richie great fishing

Angling Addicts length to weight chart gives 84cm=13lb 2oz for bass, a"fat" one might warrant a few more ounces? Excellent fishing!

Fantastic stuff Richie
Fish of a lifetime. Great to hear

It's usually had to tell with the length to weight chart, from my experience I don't think it was 13 more in the region of 10 plus, but you never know. I measured it though and that's what it was. That's the 5th I've had this season that were all 8lb plus and all 40 minute drive from Dublin 8
