Kinsale 1/03/2012

#1 Post by Ric0shay »

People:Myself and the young fella

Duration:3hrs

Tide:turn and fill

Weather:overcast with a nice chop

Bait:crab,lug and lures

Rigs:pennel

Results:First bass of 2012




Report:Set off this evening around 5ish with the small fella in tow to try out his new gear he picked up for Christmas.We headed to a cove I had some good luck with last year but more for the fact its an easy fish for him.So I set up the beach gear and cast out crab and lug cocktails but with no luck.So I set up our lure gear but didn't have much hope as the water was very murky.After about an hour I could see a few fish jumping at the front of the bay.I changed to a IMA Sasuke yellow & gold 140 and on the second cast I had a great a take.It wasn't the biggest fish iv ever got but I'm delighted to get one this early.
