Report: Headed for Downhill on Wednesday evening last after good reports of Bass caught in recent weeks. We arrived at a near empty beach in great conditions. The surf was strong and the light was good. We both got set up and cast all four lines into the water and then absolutely nothing happened.
Time and time again we retrieved to find that our baits were untouched. We both experimented with rigs, bait presentation and even hook size but to no avail. Two gents arrived to spend several hours on the eastern end of the strand and they blanked as well.
Bit disappointing really, the conditions promised much but delivered little. Will just have to keep plugging away
On a positive note there was virtually no weed on Downhill strand, pity there were no fish either
