People: Just me

Duration: 12.30-2pm

Tide: LT 12.20

Weather: Windy from SW, Started off raining , sun came out later

Bait: Razor

Rigs: Pennel

Results: 1 bass 4lb




Report:

Decided to try a quiet cove after multiple blanks/coalies at Clonea since Christmas. Nice surf running and after half an hour the rain stopped and the sun came out.
My eyes lit up when I saw the rod tip rattle, as the bite was unmistakably a bass, after about 5 secs it rattled again and I felt him on, he put up a cracking fight for a fish of its size.
Great feeling to be catching bass again.

You'd recognise me by the 2 annoying dogs that are usually with me and the cheap rods....
