Cortaz the master showed us all how it is done again yesterday. We were on one of my favourite beaches where I never blank..... well not until yesterday. We had a great selection of baits but unfortunately there was no suf. No surf often means no bass on some of the Waterford beaches. I was also spinning in one of my favourite spots over rocks that always hold a few bass.... none there!!

Cortaz walses back over the rocks with a couple of bass and us 8 eejets with nothing. This man could catch bass in a field. He had caught 11 bass.

Later we went to another beach that is always reliable. Result 2 tiny coalies to me and a dog for Jim.

It was great to meet the 2 lads from Wicklow.

I am still thawing out as it was bloody freezing.

That's the first I have ever heard of a Mullet being caught on a plug!!

Is that a common enough occurence or was that a once off?

[RockHunter]

Well done Cortaz, I fished there about a month ago and all I had to show for it was eleven dogfish

guess it was calm, if you go there when theres a fresh surf its the best beach i know, did you notice a gully/trench around the lw. line
