Gets me restless reading a report like that
Reminds me of a session I had in 2010 which I named (better than bass heaven),now you know exactly what I meant . Great fishing and report and most important, keeping only 1 fish

I had thought of it, as I usually would, but in my eagerness to get to the mark I left my fillet knife behind :? I was in a weird excited state of shock I think from catching all those biggies :shock: It was even busier than In the report, as I didn't put in some details like snapping off during a cast, breaking a leg of my tripod, getting drenched by a rogue sneaky wave :twisted: The walk back to the car with my gear was exausting. I was content just to make it home and worry about the gutting and filleting later. The remains where dumped for the crabs in the harbour the next day as I knew I would be going there for a walk.

Cheers Ray, I was over the moon, I know they are rare enough from the beaches, I hope that we might be seeing a few more around.

sparkey+1 wrote:Wow what a session most of us on the east coast would do with 1 bar of silver in a session fair play to you and the arms got a good workout and yea it be easier to gut on the beach
Cheers sparkey, yeah the arms got a good work out indeed, my shoulders where burning, see previous reply to nicefish about the gutting.
zeke wrote:wow superb session mate 8) big well done :wink:
Thanks zeke, those kind of sessions make all the other not so good ones worthwhile.
lucky13 wrote:] fair play lad..tis a busy nights some of us mere mortals only dream about!!!
:)
It was a busy night indeed, it was a fair few days after the full moon so I am not so sure about all that stuff, but I did get a feeling that the moon rising on the tide that I think fishes best on that particular mark might have had something to do with it.

Just read your report, great session too, and in Dublin, even better. Well I was having a few friends over for dinner, so It was a great meal to share. I wouldn't keep Bass for the freezer so why take more than you can eat fresh.

Cheers frank, Yep, good to see a few good size Bass availble to the shore angler. I hope that the ban is kept in place forever so fish like these will become the average.

Cod flop, you live in Cork and you couldn't get any decent cod? Am I getting mixed up here?
