People:me and kstaff

Duration:about 4 hours

Tide:low up

Weather:cold, clear, strong southerlies

Bait:lug, squid, mac

Rigs:pulleys

Results:4 codling

Report:The night seemed perfect. Large surf but manageable. At the end of a 3 day blow. As we fished the wind fell away to nothing and ice was forming on the tripod. Everything was perfect (in my mind) :? for a fishing bonanza. Apart from having some trouble with weed on our lines all was good bar the lack of fish. Should we have left it till the next day, leave the sea calm off a bit or what???

Well Daven.
Did you hear if the bass were any size? Not that it matters. I'm perfectly happy catching schoolies. Mad to get out for a couple of hours but wrote off my car last Sunday. hope to have a loaner by the weekend.

Went out to Tramore at 4am this morning (couldn't sleep a wink). After about 15 mins landed a 4.75lb bass. Stayed for a couple of hours with only a couple of small bites and no other fish.
