Waterford bass mark

#1 Post by craigo »

People:Myself and Stevo

Duration:1:30 ~ 4pm

Tide:6ish

Weather:sunny with westerly wind

Bait:lug crab razor
dd
Rigs:3/o pennel ,2hook in line feeder rig

Results:3 bass




Report:Headed out to dig a few lug with my mate Conor this morning,
Spoted a nice surf on the way back, I had the gear with me so I said I'd give it a shot for a few hours
Had a spot in mind with a good walk to the mark . Set up the pennel with crab sent it out and within ten min had
a 3lb bass .
I sent it back out in the same spot another bass 2lb released
Then I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try the inline feeder rig I had made last night
within 10 mins had yet another bass 2.5lb released. All went quiet after that . had a few more casts then we headed off
Stevo blanked !! Unlucky

P.S Thanks ShoreKing for the advice on the inline feeder !!!
If I'm not gonna catch a fish , I may aswell not catch a BIG fish !

craigo,

don't mention it. Of course you will catch fish without using it. What I am saying is that it can increase your chances. So, keep experimenting with it and see how you get on!

I used a mixture of bait that i had left over lug ,sandeel , crab claws / legs and razor that i mashed up with some soil from the lug bed (smelly stuff) :roll: .
The feeder was empty when i retrieved it each time, next time i may make a thicker mix see how well that works !

Good result there yourself - Waterford definitely seems to be the place for bass at the moment, although big ones seem a bit scarce.
