Arklow
Bait: ragworm, Sandeel, crab, lug
Weather: Scorchio!
Wind, sight north easterly
Tide: low to high
Fished Arklow on Tuesday, weather was lovely, fishing was terrible 6 hrs from about 3:30pm till 9:30pm, no fish, first time I’ve never blanked there, drove home, punched the cat and kicked the dog up the arse, drank a few cans and contemplated throwing my rods in the bin. ( only joking, no animals were harmed :D )

North Dublin
Spinning rod,
Lure, white savage gear 28gram
Thursday night, decided on a quick spinning session at my nearest estuary, got going about 7:30pm just at low water, about an hour in just as the last of the light faded got a great hit on the rod and a nice bass was landed. These bass hit different on the light gear :) could see myself getting into this lure fishing lark.

Blanking at Arklow is almost impressive! That bass must have made up for it though!

damn impressive if you ask me :D probably wouldn’t have bothered if I had known it was gonna be a north easterly wind, I’ve never found it great like that
