#1 Post by ROADRUNNER »

People:Me and a friend

Duration:1800 2000

Tide:incoming

Weather:S**t

Bait:Lug / Squid / Sandeel

Rigs:Pully

Results:Read it and weep

Catch and Release:: Yes



Report: Headed to a spot that i had heard of years ago but never fished with a mate of mine. Weather was afoul wind and rain. My mate was into fish first with a Coalie of 38cm then another of 36cm then a Dog of 48cm whilst i was fishless :oops:
Fishing died down for a bit then i had two Coalies in two casts followed by my first Donegal BASS :lol: :lol: :lol: 46cm of pure silver,fish was quickly Pictured and returned. I re baited and cast out and straight away i was into another Bass this time 54cm of silver again he was quickly returned. No more fish after that but i didn't care i had caught a Donegal Bass :lol: :lol: :P :P

Great stuff - I bet there are more bass to be found i Donegal too. Don't expect you to disclose exact location, but give us a clue - North, West or South?

some good bass to be had off tullan strand on the outskirts of bundoran.

fished a comp there last year and there was an 8lber landed and i lost another one in the surf at my feet that was about the same weight, broke a 20lb snood)

just goes to show pwoplw that the irish coast is alive and kicking and with enough time practice and patience your efforts will be rewarded

well done danny

Congratulations, and what took you so long? I got my first Donegal Bass in June...... :D

It's a special feeling all right, getting one of those up this way. I can still remember the joy and delight!
