That new float suit seems to have opened up a whole new world Steve...... Fishing in f8 and f9, you're keen :D Any size to the rockling?
I used to go out with a Galway girl and we went to Spiddal one sunny day. From what I remember theres a beach with some rocky patches? Well anyway, as we were walking along there was this terrific splash and this huge bass which must have been feeding in the shallow, on sighting us, heeled around and headed out to sea at a serious rate of knots. That was just over 4 years ago I think. Definitely a bass.

the ones i was getting were about 8" - 12" (one was a staggering 4" long :oops: )
as for fishing in f8 and f9.. I'm well used to it.. just that this time i wasn't cold and didn't get wet :lol: :lol:

possibly.. but i have seen mullet, sea trout and salmon in the shallows feeding before they head up the river(not the mullet though).. would be nice though to get a few more bass around these parts :lol: :lol:
