People:myself & john

Duration: 6 hours

Tide:high water & ebb

Weather:glorious sunshine

Bait:lug, crab, rag & razor

Rigs:pennels

Results:2 bass, 10 codling, 10 lsd's, 1 scorpion fish, 3 silver eels & a dab.

Catch and Release:: Kept a couple of codling

Report:After the disapointment of Clonea got up at 4am to go plugging at first light, plenty of fish moving but none fancied any of the plugs or spinners I was throwing at them, was back in bed by 7.

Had promised my cousin John we'd do a bit of fishing on Sunday. We set off @ 10am and were fishing over high water by 11, I got in first with a doggie first cast, John was in shortly after with a codling of a couple of pounds and this continued for about an hour.

I was fishing toward a sandbank with crab hoping for a smoothie when I got a slack liner, picked up and had a fish going bananas on the end, landed a lovely 3lb bass. Shortly after John lost his trace in the rough stuff, he quickly tied another and cast it back where he was picking up the codling, he got a nice bite and struck, fish on ws the cry so I climbed down to land the fish when I saw his trace coming back blank, i then saw his leader wrapped around the lead and started pulling it in, low and behold there was a bass on the other trace he had lost, again about 3lbs, possibly the luckiest bass & angler in the country :D

All in the 1 - 2lb bracket Chris, plenty of small hardbacks in them. Had a couple drizzled in olive oil with black pepper & rock salt, outstanding on the pan :D
