Bass Hunter, Youghal Bay, 26th June

People: Me and Padraig

Duration:3 hours 18.00-21.00

Tide:21.30

Weather:Fantastic

Bait:None

Rigs: Red and black feathers

Results:Mackerel and pollock

Report:Finally got my boat into the water. Headed for Cable Island which is normally quite good. Only managed 3 mackerel. So we moved to another reef and just caught a few small pollock. Unfortunately, somebody had "borrowed" my mooring and I was under pressure to get back in and move the boat concerned. So we decided to try nearer shore and went to Calaso Bay. As usual it was full of Mackerel and we got some very nice pollock with 200M of shore .

Met Gavin who told me about the Youghal comp. Unfortunately, I had to work the next morning before heading out to catch bass.

This is a very hard life !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you fish your own boat Barry?
Was it geared more for charters? Was it a species hunt?
