First lure caught fish of 2009
I've been having a pretty poor time of it so far this year. Normally I'd have had a good few at this stage on lures but so far this year, despite three months of effort, zilch....until tonight
!!! Up pops this beauty....

Re: First lure caught fish of 2009
Fair play Pat you did it again ........................... must hire you back as my Gillie





Re: First lure caught fish of 2009
Pat,
call that a bass - ha - spendin too much time with Danny! Just wait . . . I'm goin fishin for a few sessions the next few weeks. You have one option - go down to dungarvan with chestwaders and shallow/surface plugs and fish in front of dem oyster beds about 2hours either side of lw on a the next big springs. You'l do well although I hear it can be a bit crowded at times. I'm goin to go to cork harbour again soon and then you'll be back blanking
