North Wexford beach, 11th May '13

#1 Post by eyesreilly »

People:Me and Fishface

Duration:7pm-12pm

Tide:rising,,,,,high 9-30pm approx

Weather:nice ,,,,,,but it did lash rain for a while as well :wink:

Bait:lug,rag, crab

Rigs:pulley's and 2 hook flappers

Results:Bass for Fishface,,,,doggies, Dabs and Whiting




Report: Went to Dodds Rocks beach on Saturday (did I give it away :roll: )evening to try for a pup Smoothound ,or even a bigger one, we wouldn't have minded :lol: . I got there first and set up just before it lashed rain :shock: . I had my first cast then 3 others arrived and set up to my left. Fishface arrived and went over to one of the lads for a natter. Next time I looked he was setting up down the other end of the beach :shock: . I wondered what I had done on him to make him ignore me but then I realised that it was an age/failing eyesight thing. The poor bloke hadn't seen me and he was only 50yds away :roll: . When I put on my Orange Imax jacket I could see his confused body language down the other end of the beach as he recognised who I was :? . He'll have to add a white stick to his wishlist for Christmas :lol: Some others arrived and set up to my right so I decided to relocate down to Fishface's end of the beach. I had just set up when he landed a nice Bass 40cms,,,on a lug bait,,,and on his first cast as well :mrgreen: :mrgreen: .I had a couple of doggies just after that , and we were hopeful of a busy evening after getting a few fish in daylight. It was busy alright with plenty of doggies and Dabs, with the odd whiting but no more Bass and no smoothies yet for us i'm afraid. :wink:
