#1 Post by doggie3131 »

People:me and jason

Duration:to long (achoo!)

Tide:high 5.05 pm

Weather:rain, rain, rain,

Bait:lug,mack,razor

Rigs:one up one down, two hook flappers.

Results:see below




Report:Had the man flu all week,(i blame al and jordan!!)bloody marathon sessions!! :D had to cancell sundays session,but decided i was going out monday even if it killed me,met eireann predicted light rain so me and jason hit a beach known for the odd bass,we had got some cracking lug at a beach that matt told us about(thanks matt) real snakes so the confidence was high as we set up,no 1/0 hooks and snakes of lug/razor cocktails were tossed out into the third breaker(there was a great surf) and waited for our first bass :D :D and this is where it all started to go all wrong :twisted: met eireann!!why do i listen to them?sunday forecast,torrintial rain and winds,nothing!nada!clear skys and no wind.Mondays forecast light winds and light rain,weather torrential rain and winds!!ba****ds!!!!!! 5 hours on the beach and all we got was a tiny turbot that was not even hooked!had tried to swallow the whole bait and could not cough it up as i reeled it in. :D we moved to another spot and finally connected with a few fish with rockling,doggies,huss,pollock and the dreaded pin whiting caught,gave up around 8pm and went home wet,cold and bassless!! :evil: and now im dying again :roll:

Bad luck on the bass, there is always next time :wink:

Thats a cracking rockling though (unless its a very small doggie next to it )

I dont use met eireann at all, have never found them to be anywhere near accurate.

I use accuweather which seems to be spot on, at worst they may be an hour or 2 out with there forecast....but I can live with that

sounds like you have got a serious dose of the "Fish Flu" Noel, very contagious I've heard :P :wink: guess for a decent bass session you'll have to wait until around the 15th anyway, plenty of time to get well again, best wishes and don't tempt faith too much :roll:
