There are lots of fish about there just not taking or they cud be feeding selectly on shrimp or hoppers, :? think it more to do with the lack of baitfish in the bay, theres a few sandeels about and thats all no big sholes of sprats/fry :? :shock:
hey man well done with the oullad,its the same around dublin-lots of fish everywhere but not feeding hard and as you say very little sandeel or fry around(surprising really given the weather).

I have to say I look at these predictions before I go out and they haven't been wrong so far. When Cortaz says it's excellent I seem to be getting much bigger fish. When he says poor days it usually is just that, poor.
Looking forward to the August one Cortaz to do some planning.

Cheers

Not a boast just facts. :P
Recently, with others, well over 600 bass in 10 sessions 8) in 3 sess over 2 days 350 8) ,100 between 4/8lb 8). 4 times i landed 2 on same lure at same time, had about another 20 dubble hookups. sometimes there wer huge numbers of bass present 8) wit the hooked fish being mobbed by 100s
Most sucessful lure.
1.secert :wink:
2, tide minnow.
3, xslayers.
4, 1 up shads.
5, feed shallows
White stood out as the best colour regardless of lure.

the recent s.e.(onshore) wind has deposited large amounts of kelp/seaweed along the h.w. line, in 2 weeks time on the spring tides this will be full of maggots, the mullet will be feeding hard from 2/3 meters out if ya can find feeding fish its easy to get lots of hookups on the flyrod using maggot fkys. the best days would be from the 6th to 8th set..
The bass fishing shoud be very good for all the same week.
