Co. Clare surf beach, 28/08/06

[Donagh]

People:Me


Duration:3:30pm till 7pm

Tide:low around 3pm

Weather: Moderate westerly, sunshine/showers

Bait:sand eel

Rigs:1 hook standard surf rig

Results: 2 bass guessing 4lb and a 2 and 1/2 lb bass


Report: Gull action was far out and hard to reach with my bass rod/525 setup due to being unused to it and wind. Both fish were got with a wading as far as I dare and a good OHT. Tried a bit of spinning after at couple of locations with no luck.

hi donagh nice fish where is it you fished as myself and 2 mates coming over for a weeks fishing on 9 sept any info will be much appreciated we will be staying @ lisdoonvarna we want to fish up @ blackhead and any where theres plenty of fish

Good to see you caught your bass Donagh, fair play :D

Hi Will,

The match making festival will on in Lisdoonvarna so I'd be careful not to put your name to any lists :lol: . That was my second ever time fishing a clare surf beach so I don't think I can be of much help but I would just follow the guide on the central and shannon fisheries board web sites and then fish a beach with a surf and that isn't infested with weed and even worse surfers. One thing I spent a fair deal of time spent writing you and others emails last year on how the estuary was fishing and didn't get any report of how the areas fished. :(

Well done Donagh.It seems a little early still for surf beaches but the bass definatly seem to be coming in.

Nice one Donagh,

I was fishing a Surf Beack myself on the 29th. Didn't manage a Bass. There was a lot of gulls working off the beach about 200 - 250 yeards out. The were diving for the 4 hours I was there. I only had a few lug and didn't get any Bass. I got a nice Dab on my first cast though. I didn't have the camera unpacked so I didn't get a picture. I'd say it was over a pound and about 32 - 34cm. A PB for me. :D

Thanks lads for you comments. Just to let you know the picture taken was the smaller bass I didn't bother reaching into to my waders to the get my mobile for the first larger one.
