Day 2 -Bass & Flounder

This couldn’t have been any different. It was blowing a hooli from the west with a fair amount of rain in the mix. It was time to go fish an Irish storm beach. We visited one of Kevin’s big fish venues where he’s had a couple of doubles. We were relieved there were no surfers but within 30 minutes we had too much weed to deal with clogging up the rigs and leader knots it made fishing impossible.

When we arrived at the next venue it looked superb and  I instantly felt more confident as I sent a large crab bait on a pennell rig out into the surf on one rod. The other rod had lug and razor on a two hook rig.

Good start

On the crab

Double shot

Kevin seemed to be struggling but this put a smile on his face

We had some weed to deal with but managed a nice session with Bass and flounders before the rising tide and more weed made it un-fishable again. We retired for a brew and to pick up the lure gear. Kevin started to feel ill so he stayed in the car and I fished an area on the drop that looked ok in terms of water clarity but failed to produce in two hours on a dropping tide.
