People:me and later, a lad off the site

Duration:from half 8 till half 1

Tide:unsure didnt change much

Weather:mild onshore breeze

Bait:lug, squid, crab

Rigs:pulleys and flappers

Results:1st for the year and pb BASS, flounder, dabs and doggies

Report:made a late decision to head out after a coaching session in arklow, picked up some fat lug and headed to a mark, first cast out for a few mins and a fair rattle, pulled in a heap of weed and a doggie, happy days blank saved, fishing fairly slow untill my rod left the tripod as i grabed it and started to retrieve the slack felt a fish start to play, had to adjust the drag as it was resisting and down under resistance is useless, 5 or so mins later i beached a pb BASS os 6 and a half pounds 66 cm long and my first for eyear, was dancn around like a child but hey so i should. fishing picked up around midnight with half decent dabs and doggies every second cast, ran outa lug at half 1 so packed up and headed home.

Fine lump of a bass there. Fair play to ya. Catchin a fish like that so close to the ban will make the month seem a lot longer. Plenty of time to tie up rigs anyway.

Well done on the bass

My first is still eluding me, looks like they'll be safe from me until 15th June
