West Waterford 8/5/12 Two Sessions

#1 Post by declan65 »

People:me then me, Seanie35 and few others

Duration:2 x 2.5hrs

Tide:lw about 2.30 then hw later

Weather:nice earlier gentle south to southwest early then veering easterly few showers later

Bait:lures

Rigs:

Results:first session -5 bass to 4lbs, second session one bass just shy of 5lbs




Report:
Few days off round the bank holiday to do a bit of fishing so headed off early yesterday morning hoping to fish a mark over the top of the morning tide, drove to the mark and found weed soup :shock: . Packed up and considered alternative marks which were also weeded up. Headed home with a plan to fish at low water. Hit the mark later at about 14.30, first cast into a fish , schoolie bass about 2lbs, released, then second cast another about the same size, looking good for the session , managed another three in the first hour of the rise , best one was 4lbs , it had "one of those sessions written all over it" before the weed started to put a damper on the session :evil: :evil: ,packed up and headed home for a bite. Got a text from Seanie35 another session on so hit the road on the mark in ten minutes, see report here http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... 68#p308668 , managed another fish just before the rain came after Sean had managed to find some clean water 8) 8) 8), good day all in all couple of pics below.

Gerry, it's been a bit hit and miss on the lures but we are getting fish all the time , now that I have two addictions, lures and ground fishing :shock: :shock:

Cheers for all the comments lads , it was a good day hopefully a sign of things to come. 8)
Everyone should believe in something; I believe I’ll go fishing.
