Predictable Fishing
What about tonight? Moonrise, sunset, full moon, and lunar eclipse all within one hour. Surely, tonight will be the night of all nights?

Re: predictable fishing.
is bait fishing any good at low tide down by the osyter cages, or is the plugging better, also is the osyter sheds safe way back after the tide starts flooding or is cunnigar carpark a better option, pass nearly everyday so mad to get in a session there 

Species....good film.....I'll get my coat

Re: predictable fishing.
Unlucky Art. Its terrible when you lose a favourite lure...its almost like a bereavement. Was out myself yesterday and managed to land a fish of 76cm. I thought he'd nudge specimen but when I weighed him would you believe he was only 8.75lbs
. He wasn't as deep bodied as normal fish that size and had sea lice, so he may have been sick

Re: predictable fishing.
Hi Art,
Just read through this thread again still not sure I fully understand, but anyway I'm planning to fish in Waterford on Saturday, weather seems to be favourable for what I want! Southerlies and big surf! I'm after a Big Bass, I believe conditions will/should be good, what's the moon phase like for Saturday in big fish terms? LW approx 7.30pm
Best Regards,
