When: 12/08/2022
Where: North Dublin
Who: Myself
Duration: 04:30-06:30
Tides: LW 06:15
Equipment: 10ft Spinning Rod
My Bait: Berkley DEX Long Shot Wakasagi 140mm
Conditions: Flat calm and sunny
Result: 1 Bass

Planned on a little trip out for this morning and ended up staying up all night in anticipation.. so I got to the mark at 4am, threw the waders on and went to pull out my spinning rod, only I had made a critical error and took the top half of my beach rod by mistake, so I had to go back home and grab it.. I made it back out for 4.30am.. I waded out and started casting my new berkley dex lure, and few casts in while the lure was near the surface I see a bass mouth rising and hit the lure but didn't hook up, so I kept at it with full confidence the fish were there and not too long after I hooked into a nice 46cm bass just as the sun rose over the horizon. Stunning morning to be out and finally getting some good fishing in!

Brilliant fair play for being out and about nice and early, it definitely paid off

Cracking fish
Congratulations

What a fantastic fish! Really worth the effort/sleep deprivation!

Nice fishing. I know the feeling. Very hard to sleep when you know you're getting up to fish at dawn.

Lovely fish Gonzo.You got your reward for getting up early.

Nice fish Gonzo - fair play!

Nicely done Gonzo. Love that first pic of the health bass..

Lovely fish. Have yet to get a bass on lures and might have to dedicate a bit more time to it.

Cheers Dave, yeah I'd highly recommend it, it's definitely my favourite way to catch them now, there's nothing like feeling a bass hit the lure

Nice one gonzo early start paid off well done.
