Wexford Bass getting bigger 12.07.10

#1 Post by Tommy B »

People: Just me

Duration: 4-8.30

Tide: High

Weather: Sunny with a slight easterly

Bait: Plastics/Lures

Rigs:

Results: 2xBass 4lb and 7.5lb




Report: All the signs where good, high tide, cortaz's predictions and a slight easterly breeze. When I arrived there was a bit of weed about the place. Tried the trusty xlayer no luck really, so I stuck on a sidewinder in green and hit into a fish straight away. Quickly weighed him and it was 4lbs I had only let the tail go and remembered didn't get a photo :roll:
Did something very stupid then :) there was a bee trying to get into my ear and I brushed him away, along with the polaroids that where on my head straight into the water. :oops: They weren't expensive thank God.
The weed was starting to come on so moved about abit and found a nice rocky outcrop that went passed the weed. Had switched to an Orange sidewinder and nailed a whopper. Didn't know what was coming out of the sea it looked jet black. I was delighted when I seen it was a Bass. Didn't give much of a fight as I had to bully him a bit because of the weed. Hard job getting him onto the rocks on my own (always have the net ready!!!) didn't forget the camera for this lad!! 7.5lb!!!!
He took ages to revive but it was a great feeling when he did kick off, such power!!!
The weed was getting annoying then and I'd say if it wasn't there tonight I could have had even better results. But I'm very happy with that session.
Tommy

I think it's that black because of the habitat not sure on this one
