Well, despite all the dire predictions and lack of
expectations we have made a good start here in Wexford. The first hour looked
like it would be the same old story, perfect conditions (Thanks to Jims expert
local knowledge) but no fish as has mainly been the story of post close season 2012
so far. As I fished soft plastics from a rocky weedy point focusing on the area
to the right Jim directed me to fish to the left and after a few casts my bait
was hit hard by a nice fish that looked big by my recent standards but was
probably around 5Lbs. With confidence levels elevated we moved on to a similar
spot at which my bait was grabbed almost under the rod top by a fish that
motored of on a powerful run that made the drag sing which after a good battle
I managed to lose just as Jim was getting ready to grab it. We finished of our
session with this nice bonus fish which hit a lime green “One up shad” at a
deep water mark... See Jim's photos here Here
