portrush area, co. derry 24/9/10

#1 Post by carp angler »

People:myself

Duration:6 hours

Tide:low to high

Weather:clear spells, rough seas

Bait:rag, sand eels

Rigs:2 hook pennel

Results:1 bass




Report:ok, so arrived 2.30am and fished the beach with no joy for 3 hours, managing only to break a tooth on a choc bar
moved onto the rocks just before dawn broke, hard to tell a bite with the strength of the tide, but low and behold one of them silver fellas was on me hook, weighed at 3lb (my first ever) as the tide started to turn
should have went home there and then, instead a few casts later and managed to break my bass rod mid cast. . . .
packed up and went home soon after. . . . .a happy man i am

how do i resize my foto?

Well done fella. I did take a look at it last night but decided the 30mph wind in my face with that surf would make it a little 'sporty'. Did look good for bass if anybody braved it though.
