Shannon Estuary _ South Clare 10/07/2009
People: Ross
Duration: 3 hrs
Tide: last 3 hrs of ebb
Weather: Dull, muggy, misty, overcast light SE
Bait:
28 grms Dexter Wedge
Results:
3 Bass
1 @ 3 lbs
1 @ 4 lbs
1 @ 5 lbs
RELEASED !
Report:
Went to my usual Bass haunt, a narrow channel with a rip of tide through it. First cast a 3 lbs Bass!
A little later a strong hit and a Bass takes off at high speed out to sea! He disappears out of view and I get worried as the line gets lower on my reel! This time a 4 lbs Bass. This was followed by a 5 lbs Bass. As the water went dirty and the green weed moved in the fishing went off.

He did the same thing last year, the boxes were just laying in the sun, It's a real shame he has destroyed a great mark.
Well done on the bass, some nice fish on the lure.
The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened.
