Catch and Release:: Yes/No.brought 1 home for good friday dinner.



Report:
Great evening.We decided to put cortaz moon phase theory to test and it seemed to work.We predicted that the bass should come on the feed about 9.30 and the first 1 was caught at 9.20.Steady bites after that.Averaged about 2-3 lb with biggest about 4.5 lb.
Went out spinning on Seans boat on saturday and had a bass a shade over 6lbs as well as several sea trout.A good weekend for the bass.
Some photos to follow.

Looking good for your trip to kerry in a few weeks Eoghan! :D

Yes Art.Seems it is spot on.Thanks for sharing that info.Hadn't made use of it before but when I checked back over our most sucessful bass sessions the moon phase theory was as you predicted. :wink:
Thanks again for sharing that info.

20g, but the small thicker one, silver with gold print/paint, i've never seen that colour for sale since i got those at a caravan show in Glasgow about 10yrs ago, that's why i threatened to throw you overboard if you lost it!!! :lol:

Bye the way, you know how the women have been getting neglected this weekend, thought it was only right i took her for a walk last night......where you caught that bass looked like a good idea, and yes i took the fly rod as well :lol: , no luck that time, only fished for 1/2hr!
Sean,

Nice report lads. The above prompted me to think of something said to me a long time ago...

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.

Teach a man to fish, he eats every day.

Teach a woman to fish, the man gets to fish every day! :wink:
Kieran Hanrahan

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Nice one Col, very interested to hear about two things :

1. The moon thing - No arse pics please ..! :-)
2. The toby lure out fishing the kilty...! The Kilty is my fav small lure for bass.

All in all though it sounds like its getting warm down there. Happy days.!
Top 3 lure caught bass 2017 :
10Ib 5 oz

I'm confused. The Solunar rating for that day is poor and moon set is 22.55pm (Dublin). Cortaz, can you explain this as i thought i was beginning to understand...? :(

They were for Dublin. Kerry didnt appear to be an option. I assumed (doh) that there wouldnt be a lot of difference :oops:

1, Didn't bother taking any pics of those although there was some boy racers about that night, think they must have heard about this moon phase as well :shock:
It's new to me me as well, I've always just looked for the day or two previous to a big tide,

2, Here is the lure in question, if anyone knows where to get this colour of Toby would you let me know, by far the best Bass lure for me.
Sean,
