Report
The fishing was pretty bleak up on the north coast so me and the bro got a few days of work and headed down to the south east coast on a bass hunt for our first 2 bass. plus any other speicies that comes along .
I got some info earlier last week on were to get bait and I went to joe in courttown he directed me to joe in wexford south east baits who was very informative on marks and bait rigs and tides so a big thanks to them 2 guys cause without them I prob would of been lost.
first mark we arrived evening time and the tide was pushing in it was turning dusk so I tried lure fishing for bass with my lure rod 12 lb mono and a 15lb fluorocarbon leader a maria angel kiss plug. I had nothing for about 15 mins and was about to quit to start bait fishing when wack I was into a fish to my surprise it was a 4lb sea trout. give a great fight as I took it out of the water I sat it down and shouted to the bro for the camera. lifted it up again and t was coverd in sand so took it to the water to clean it and it broke free and swam before I could snap it. rippen. 
later on that night r baits fell to a couple of dabs and the bro reeled in a specimen plaice couldn't believe it it was a pb at 3lb, cracker fish. but sadly no bass shown
2nd mark the wind had picked up and there was a surf building (perfect for bass) so we got set up and chucked the baits out and had a couple of flounders and dogs mostly with a few more dabs it was very windy and then the rain strted so we packed up early. dam u rain and wind I wouls say if we hada stayed id say there would of been a few bass knocking about.
3rd mark we made r way down thinking r chance of a bass is over we were going home after this session and we were so wrong. I baited up with 2 big juicy crab and the bro did also, it wasn't long before the flounder were nibbling with lots of small bites but then my rod went bang bang bang I quickly struck the rod and I was in, I was on edge to say the least my heart thumping thinking this is it reeled it in more and then I see with my polerized glasses a big mouth come up from the water. and to my delight it was a Bass
reeled it on in and it was in my hands. what a feeling it was. nicest fish id ever caught. I shouted and roared. the other anglers across from us prob thought I was mad.
it was 4 1/2 lb . then the bro cracked into another 2. it was his first two. we were totally delighted. the amount of years and bait went into catchin this fish all came down to that day we cracked open a beer and celebrated. what a way to end a tripit was a cracker trip down on the south east coast and I think ill be back to try my hand at a few smoothies.
thanks to south east baits joe and and everyone who give me info before I went down
heres a few pics.
. Nice to get a result after the trip down 
that plaice is unreal!
