When out for a few hours do a bit of spinning and try out my new xlayers thanks Patrick I could not believe mt eyes not one person fishing for mack at the Lighthouse. I tryed the xlayer I was not getting much movement out of it maybe the link swivel didn't help I tried all types of lures and plugs no joy, still nice to be out in the sun and oul cycle down to poolbeg.

hard luck,but at least you got to try out the new tackle.

Hard luck mate, I know the feeling I've had more unsuccessful lure sessions for bass recently than I'd care to remember but persistence always pays off and I eventually got my first one of the year last week, so keep at it. Btw the way how do you find the Xlayers? I must pick up a pack, still using Slug-go's, Power Minnows and that kind of thing myself but I'm curious to know what all the fuss is about.

hey nicefish,
been down that "wayish" for the evening/night rising tides a few times during the week, 19th & 21st (predictable fishing thread by cortaz) had a bass each night but before the h.t. and a few eels. by the way i was using 3 or 4 lug laced up on a 2 hook rig
but at and after the fill was quiet! try fishing in the surf as it fills closer to the shore,
i fished sunday night moving back in with the tide and only managed one eel and a crab! it was
windy but no surf at all and, i headed 2hrs or so before full tide
hope im not insulting yer knowledge!! Thomas

Thanks Dave, the xlayers are deadly looking I just need a bit more practice on this walk the dog lark. I have a 14g head on mine might try the 6g head next, and I had a snap swivel on which i feel didn't help.
