We hit a couple of marks the other morning despite conditions being less then favorable, we knew in our hearts that Bass would be hard to find but with a sun rise this beautiful and that "well you just never know feeling to keep you going," it is hard to resist a few hours chucking plugs.
On the tackle front the new Sakura rods have arrived both the 8 6" and 9 6" if you are interested give me a bell or drop me an e mail, these are a fast actioned, light weight and a good looking pole to boot. Dare I say it but I think I prefer it to the shukan it is certainly lighter and feels a big more balanced and just a touch faster. Combined with a new Stradic 4000 and a spool of 20lb power shot you have a light weight fast actioned Japanese plugging outfit that did not cost the world. I am doing the lot all three, Rod, Reel and Braid for 340 euro.
The Fishing has remained tough in this part of the world, my theory is that it is still too warm, the crab have not started to moult in earnest and this is delaying the arrival of the big fish, I could be talking rubbish or maybe there is something to it only you can decide weather, Ye buy it or not!

Haven't been out myself since last Monday week either Pat. I'm crackin up. The weather is absolutely crap, with high winds and rain all the time. Even if there was a short break in the weather the fishing will more than likely be crap. We'll need a day or two for it to settle down.

Ps. That big fish (with your name on it) is probably safe for another bit so.
Probably pat, but sure I might just sneak down that way meself and have a lash! How safe would she be then? Hope things pick up for ye down there!
