Anyway, tnks to all for the PM's on Waterford. Much appreicated. We chose Wexford in the end.
Conditions : Warm South Westerly, great surf, evening tide. Couldnt be better really.
Bait : 200 King Rag
Rig : Single snood 6/0, 3oz grip
Fished from 8pm til 11.30.
Got to the mark and met an angler who had fished for a few hours but was heading home.
He hadnt had a bite and said the weed was a problem. So we werent expecting much.
Within 20 mins of fishing we had a bass each and countless bites.
We experimented with casts into either side of the sand bar but found the best results were on the sand bar itself. (Approx 20 ft out)
End result between the two of us :
6 Bass to 4 Ib (Smallest was just longer than one of our 6/0's) rest were 2-4Ib
3 flounder - postage stamps
We thought we were in for a great nights fishing but curiously as soon as it turned dark we had no more fish.
Previously this venue only came alive as soon as it got dark.
I did miss one cracking bite around 10pm when I was half asleep looking up at the stars. Rod was nearly pulled from my arms.
Schoolboy error...!
Pics : None
Vids : 1 - will post on U tube on Monday and add link to this. Its a vid of the firsh bass of the night. I took out the camera and opted for a vid. It got too hectic after that for pics as myself and my mate get competitive..! I lost 4-2 on Bass count
Whats seldom is wonderful Steve, enjoy it while it lasts.
no ray, no smoothies, no bass.......must of been the bad bait....atleast thats what we are telling ourselves hey Brian
