Clare 18/10/09

#1 Post by Conger »

People: Me

Duration: 13.00 to 18.00

Tide: Incoming

Weather: Wet and Blustery

Bait: Lug and Sandeel

Rigs: various

Results: 1 Bass




Report: Got a green card on Sunday so off i took filled with great expectations :? Hit to a beach at low tide for a few fresh lug, we normally get monster lug off this mark, :shock: :shock: Not a sign of one, quick rethink and headed to another known lug mark, :D happy days, every turn of the fork was throwing up good size lug. Left that mark and headed for a favorite fishing mark, within half an hour i was been blown around and the 'weedilus maximus' was all over the place, quick pack up and headed for a more sheltered beach near by. had just set up 2 rods and was in the process of setting up the 3rd and bang :shock: the rod close in took a huge knock, AAAAGGGGHHHHH struck too soon :twisted: and missed, rebaited and cast to same spot, :D had a slack line bite and up popped a nice schoolie bass, :D thought this is great, thats where i should have been more pesimistic :? tried everything after that, fished the 3 rods at varying depths and distances, not another bite, strange because we normally get good flounder and doggies on this mark as well :shock: oh well not meant to be but hey a blank was saved :D :D

Regards

Seamus

I fished that mark last night, big fronds of kelp at the wash of the tide but not a problem with the water. I was plagued with dogfish taking lug?? and lots of small whiting. I think I caught the same schoolie as you.[img][IMG]http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc325/baitdigger/lulu5th046.jpg[/img][/img]

Conger, where would the fun be in catching Bass in those numbers, you may as well be Mackerel Bashing :shock:

I'd say there is a higher skill level is catching your schoolie on the west coast :( :arrow: :lol:
