Coming over and staying down near to kilmore the first week in September ive got a few marks for bass that ive found over the years but was wandering if anyone knows of any smoothound marks that might produce in september..


cheers all

Rosslare point always has a few - Check the tides though, they are absolutely frightening when running hard down there, nothing bar a 10 tonne anchor will hold bottom - other than that im unfamiliar with the area.

[jaygo]

its on my list thanks for the heads up...

[keithelliott]

When you say rosslare point where is that? Of the pier in the port itself? I'm going for a few days and would like to try it!
Thanks

[ardinn]

The point is in rosslare strand - so go past kelly's hotel and keep going till you cant go any further! You can drive up the shoreline about halfway no bother but stop before it turns back to the left, long enough walk otherwise! There is a tackle shop on the left called the widgeons rest, open till 6 most weekdays, bunty in therre will let you know everything thats happening.

[keithelliott]

Just at the point there is it??

[ardinn]

Circles on right are hard fishin but easiest water - circles on left can be tricky but decent fishing - outgoing tide a disaster - crab central - keep bait off bottom if at all possible.

Dont go near the x!!

[keithelliott]

Thanks for the tip mate, went up there last nite and got a nice smoothie, a few caught at the X too mate

[keithelliott]

Caught this within 1 minute of first cast

[ardinn]

X marks where the tides meet and its like a bloody volcano - but if ye got one there fair play

[jaygo]

was you using crab?????

[keithelliott]

In fairness it was a nice calm nite, plenty of bass caught too, but then one of the lads got stuck in the sand,

[ardinn]

Were you "IN" the sea?

[keithelliott]

No mate, just of the rocks, I sent ya a picture of the biggest one, all caught with rag worm

[ardinn]

Didnt get it - got a pic of the point alright!

[keithelliott]

Will only let me send it by private message

[jaygo]

fished it last year lots of small bass on rag...no decent ones..

as stated the pull on the very point is unreal..


lots of big mullet about aswell

[keithelliott]

Yeah, all were small but still great fun, smoothies were on rag, the biggest we recon was about 6lbs. Considering I've never caught a bass and smoothy before I was delighted with the catches

[Rob Millard]

6lbs a nice sized schoolie Wish they were all like that!

[keithelliott]

Lol, I ment the smoothie was about 6 lol
