North Wex Hounds

#1 Post by Hooker »

People: Me, Myself and I

Duration:8-11pm

Tide: Rising

Weather: Calm and humid.

Bait: Frozen crab

Rigs: 3/0 pulleys

Results: 2 dogs, 1 pup hound and 6 daddy hounds.




Report: This is my first report, really wanted to share what was one of the best nights fishing I've had in a long time. 1st cast was sent towards Wales at approx. 8pm on a eerily quiet and very still night on a north wexford beach. I was planning on fishing 1 rod for hounds with crab at distance and one close in to chance a bass. Was just about to lob the second rod out when my other rod decided it didn't like being on the rod rest! Picked up the rod felt a fish swimming away with a 5oz spike so struck and was into a good fish Afer a thouroghly enjoyable fight a hound of 5-6lbs was beached to my delight. Happy out already, I decided to fish both rods for hounds. One of the rods went on every cast the other rod went twice while I was playing a fish but missed them and a few other good takes, All in all landed
6 male hounds the biggest at about 8-9lbs in my estimation, all giving a great account of themselves on my lighter beach casters.Will be heading out again tonight which will mean an early bus ride to the big smoke for work tomorrow. Worth it I think.

Few phone pics below.

Nice fish mate and a good report and pictures. I will be there tonight myself as soon as I can get out of work. Work is really beginning to affect my fishing so maybe a career change is on the cards. Well done again. :D

The mark is no secret, you'd figure out where I fish from my other posts anyway. There is a channel between two banks at the minute. Need to hit that, anything short of a good cast for me and I got no bites.vIn work for the weekend now so won't get out again till Mon. Bring the spinning rod too, plenty of sea trout jumpin and a bass was taken on a popper at dusk last night off the beach!
