south wexford/wexford and wicklow 9/10/10

#1 Post by mitch »

people me and millbrooke

bait lug /crab/razor/rag/clam

rigs flappers /pully's

results

took a chance and headed to south wex after bass ,arrived at mark
and were greeted by massive rollers breaking and running up the beach and not a sign of weed :) we set up a rod each and sent
out 2 hook flappers ,we didn't have long to wait first cast john had
a double a codling 0f 35 and flounder 30cm and then i got a slack liner and landed a bass of 42 cm :D fish quickly put back and thinking to myself were in for a great nights fishing


so 2nd rods were quickly sent out , 10 min later a blanket of weed
hit us and from 4 rods i managed to get 1 trace back :roll: john lost
traces and shock leaders on both rods :evil:
so we had to pack up and hit the road :cry: it was a killer especially knowing there was plenty of fish there

anyway plan b was a bit closer to home and again a smashing surf and no weed ,baits went out and came back in not touched :?
was like that for about 1 and half hrs and then the dreaded weed
came on :roll:

hit the road and wickla was our next port of call ,nice conditions and no weed happy days second cast and i got a nice codling of 39 cms and john had a whiting of 32 cm . the rest of the night there was plenty of whiting and small codling nothing exciting but enjoyable fishing all the same

there was a non national fishing and he came over asking the usual
questions , later when he packed up john went over to where he was fishing and found 2 dogfish alive and left to die, also rubbish and stale bait all left behind :evil: :evil: these guys dont give a s..te or have any respect for anything or anybody .Well Not Here Anyway In Our Country Anyway
