West Waterford 06/04/2012

#1 Post by declan65 »

People:me

Duration:2.5hrs

Tide:hw at 18.20

Weather:overcast, mild, slight northwesterly

Bait:lures

Rigs:

Results:Bass 6.25 lb, 62cm.




Report:
Went to a rock mark this evening to fish over the top of the tide. Picked my usual spot and chucked nearly everything in the bag for about and hour and a half, water was very clear would have preferred a little colour/cloudiness and a little bit more movement. Decided to move up the beach just after high water to fish into a gulley that I had spotted last week on slack tides. First cast and got hit hard, fish surfaced immediatelely, lots of headshaking and a couple of turns back out to sea but managed to turn it and landed a nice fish of 6.25 lbs and 62cm in length. Well happy decided to fish on for another while, missed a couple of others shortly after and saw a few cruise missiles in close patrolling in pairs, decided to cast across them but no interest, (obviously got other things on their minds than feeding :wink: :wink: :wink: ), packed up shortly after and headed home. Pic below.
