bray 30-3-10

#1 Post by plumster »

People:me

Duration:12-3am

Tide:high midnight

Weather:good

Bait:sandeel,lug

Rigs:2 hook flappers

Results:codling,coalies




Report:

all this talk of bass in wicklow got me fired up for the drive from bettystown :D so i decided on bray, :? handy enough to get to and if the rain didnt stop i could always fish from the pier using the jeep for shelter :D but luckily enough the rain held off and the moon came out ,the sea was lumpy everything was perfect but was this the bass mark in wicklow :!: not at all ,i knew that but was hoping i was wrong. set up two 12ft carp rods and cast them out ,one about 70 yds and the other around 20. now to make a brew and settle in .was two hours later before i finally managed a cuppa as it was all go from the start , :D bites really showed up on the lighter tackle, ended up with 6 codling just under the lb mark and 3 smaller coalies,missed several other good bites, the usual, lighting up a smoke ,taking a leak so who knows maybe even missed a bass, probably not :roll: .sandeel was by far the best bait on the night all fish returned safely to fight another night.
:idea: now to find that bass mark hmmm any clues,and not the stones.
