east or south?

#1 Post by corbyeire »

Am heading down to wexford town thursday to tick the old smoothie off the list - i know a good few are about - would be looking for a decent one to bend the rod - which coast is more likely at the moment for size?

If theres a run of bass you could give me a hint on too - it would be most welcome - ideally a mark where two birds with the one stone are likely - im well lazy :P

These species hunts dont happen by themselves :lol:

Apart from that if any of the old heads fancy meeting up - send me a pm thanks, there til sunday

Needless to say no smoothies for me - i only managed one session into darkness and then into daylight on the coombe, one in the daylight in the safe, one again in daytime cullenstown and one in the early morning Ballyvaldon - not ideal but still thought i would have grabbed a pup

two turbot, 1 flounder and 1 dog for 4 days of fishing - i had to go lure fishing for spikey fella things were so bad - luckily got one 30 mins before i was due to go home...
