Ferrypoint can be variable alright, probably fishes better when the tides are slack.Magpie wrote:Mighty session frank. ill be out targetting a Bass in favourite mark four months earlier than expected. froze solid in ferrypoint tonight for 3 hours and nothing but a coalie to show for it
Thanks Declan, lets hope it is a good year - my bass fishing wasn't great last year, it only really took off just before than ban and after the ban ended I wasn't able to get out much with a foot problem which restricted my fishing, but even when I was back on my feet I found it very slow compared to 2009.declan65 wrote:Well done Frank on your first Bass of the year, with astart like that this year has got to be better than last

Thanks Sean, yes my bass total was very poor compared to 2009, but I am going to have a good crack at it this year.seanie35 wrote:great start to the year frank i wonder will it be a good year, my overall numbers took a tumble last year, another couple of weeks chasing a big cod then back to Bass i think
Thanks, come down to Cork or Waterford - sure to get a few theresaving private brian wrote:well done frank.me thinks 2011 is gonna be year i get me first Bass

Happy New Year
You should try to get down sometime in the summer or September (plenty of pollock about then and hopefully a few bass). Happy New Year to you too.
Thanks, better start than usual alright.Conger wrote:Well done Rockhunter, thats some start to the new year, well done
