On Wednesday night Tom managed to find the fish pictured, the wind was NW, it was cold and a lot of weed in the water. In short very difficult conditions so well done Tom. Again the Patchinko did the business.
Fishing has been difficult, I have been in touch with anglers and indeed fished from west Waterford to South Wexford over the last few days and found it hard to catch. I have seen a lot of fish but they are just not in a taking mood and conditions have been against us. However we have managed to find some quality fish today. The clonker pictured was taken this morning by Paul, so a big well done to him. Paul is one of my fishing buddies and let me tell you this guy has invested his time and money into catching this marvelous creature. I know he is still smiling from ear to ear, the fish fought really hard making long runs, staying deep testing Paul's Rod Bar 270 which preformed extremely well. So despite the hard fishing we have still managed to find some quality fish, we moved after getting this fish to another mark, which started to fish just on the turn of the tide.
A couple of bumps on the lure but no hook up, which points to the kind of mood the fish are in they are only half heartedly taking the lure. Then bang I had a good fish on, it fought well and was just within reach when the hooks pulled. i saw the fish and it was some where around the 6-7lb mark. Arthur had a nice fish about the 4lb mark and then I finished with an accidentally foul hooked Mullet that went like a bone fish across the shallows.
