People:Me

Duration:20:00 - 22:00

Tide:HT 20:03

Weather:Fair, stiff NW, squally at times

Bait:

Rigs:Spinners, Plugs

Results:9 bass (best 4lbs)

Report:Over the last few nights noticed surface activity a bit more substantial than mackeral breaks. On the assumption that these were more likely schools of bass chasing mackeral or sprat I headed for the same spot to test the theory. Using a silver toby picked a few mackeral & a solitary scad. Then lo and behold a nice bass took the lure. With the scales out of action I estimated the fish at 3lbs on the basis that it was about 45cms in length. Over the next hour upto darkness repeated drifts produced another 8 bass with the best probably 4lbs (one falling to a green mackeral J30). Several mackeral also added to the tally.

Nice fishing Pat you seem to have found a good mark.
Will be down in Cobh for 25th & 26th with Jim Linehan on Deora De will have to meet you and fill you full of drink until you reveal the mark. :lol: :lol:

Keep the reports coming nice to see someone catching good fish and returning them to fight again. :lol:
