Fine fish Conor, well worth the trip out - and an excellent advert for Irish winter shore angling
Dont worry Chris, put in the hours like Conor and you'll get your reward soon enough.

It's all down to how you hold it Pat, Conor has that fine art down to a tee, mind you he's had plenty of practiseThat's a super Bass....it looks bigger than 7lbs.

Re: West Coast Bass 13.01.10
Im with Corby, I hate that beach aswell, there was a 12lber from there a few weeks ago.
Cracking fish, well done Connor for taking anything in Daylight. It doesnt fish at all if there is no surf, and its generally best each side of low, Joe had a few good sea trout there this time last year.
