Dodge 25 August 2002 Fished balliwilling last night on a comming tide, from 3am till dawn at the stream end. 2 flounder 2 doggies and a pouting was all I landed. Though I missed at least two big thumps, no sign of any ray yet but it must be getting close to that time. All the best Billy the bass.
16 August 2002 Time:Day Fished with Lug & Crab. From low tide onwards. One lonely Flounder to show for our troubles. Moby 4 August 2002 Fished Balliwilling last night with Bob the dog, had four dogs a coalie and a school bass around 2lb, great to catching some fish again. Bait was sandeel and lug at the stream end. Billy the bass......... 20 October 2002 Fished an Open Comp from 3-7 on a coming tide. Gales and driving rain all day didn't help. Lots of undersized fish, flats and eels with a few small codling. Crab baits dropped short seemed to work best. Keith No reports in last twelve months 4 January 2003 15lb bass caught on rag off Morriscastle strand Wexford half an hour after arrival about 10.30 pm. lots of small bass about 2lbs.2 small tope about 6lbs.4 large thornback ray. all caught within 6 hrs on 4 rods. good spot well worth a visit.

June 2003 Time: Day 6th January 2003 Fished Dunmore East , much better fishing, catching coalies over 3 lbs, although no whiting or cod to be had. fished both days with mackeral strips and squid. Dodge 21 November 2002 Time: Day great fishing in Dunmore east on incoming tide, from 14:00 onwards, for about 2 hours, my mate mike and me caught 16 coalfish and one dogfish all between 1lb and 1 1/2lb weight. Fishing with lugs and mackerel strip cocktail. Fished Duncannon pier the following day but a lot quiter,small whiting and flatties only, but we did have the company of a seal for a while, which we treated with our mackerel heads. 15 September 2002 Time:Day Dam Dave and I fished Camden this morning at low water, useing lug sandeel razor and mackerel. For the first hour we had nothing (with 4 rods out) but as the tide started to run we eded up with a mixed bag of dab, rockling, garfish and dogs and of course mackerel. A good morning, Billy the bass... 11 August 2002 Time:Day Had a weekend with herself in west Cork, so fishing took second place, but a couple of 2 hr sessions before breakfast were snatched. I had fantasised about large rock bass nosing in and out of the rocky gullies and bays, but in the end, as usual, I caught only pollack. However, they were the biggesd I've caught - from 4 -6 lb - not bad from the shore. They all went back, but for one to the B&B lady who said pollock were going for over €100 a box. Do people actually buy pollock to eat? Neil Frankish 11 August 2002 Fished Inch this morning on a comming tide, lovely surf showing but also bringing in rafts of weed which made fishing impossiball. Ah well! I nipped round to Cobh and had a few micro pollack who gobbled up my hard dug lug. Billy the bass..... No reports in last twelve months. 18

Warren 1 December 2002 Boat Yard With only frozen bait I fished the bottom of the tide from 7am and caught 12 whiting (all undersize) one coalie just on 12" two good dabs, one well over pound and hooked into a conger that I never got over the kelp. A uexpectedly good day! Billy the bass.... 23
December 2003 19 October 2003
Myself and Damn Dave fished the wall this morning
from 7.30am with fresh peeler and razor. Although it was only a small tide we
had codling, whiting and loads of pout. When we finnished there were 18 lads
spaced down the wall. I wouln't say it was great fishing but it was incouraging.
Billy the bass....
9 February 2003 Time:Day We heard the whispers, but were they true. Was there a late run of fish in Monkstown. The answer is yes, though not too many cod. Whiting and dab to near specimen size were caught by Damn Dave and myself. Useing lug and razors at distance we bagged up on good fish two hours befor high water. there seemed to be so many fish that any cocktail of baits were doing the job. After a poor year so far: Thank God! Billy the bass...... 13 October 2002 Time: Day First ever posting. At the pier as the tide ebbed, mainly to try out a new reel. Nothing showing apart from a small flounder on the last cast using a mackrel/sandeel cocktail. Passing the wall, on the way home, one guy had a couple of decent sized pollock or cod (couldn't slow, cops behind me). Trying Clon at weekend with a couple of pros, will report. Peter C Murphy 16 November 2003 Time: Day Skibbereen 2 November 2002 Time: Fished an Open Comp on Sat 4-9pm. Gale force wind on a dropping tide was a recipe for disaster as the poor results showed. Several small coalies and a few Flounders with a couple of small Bass and Codling were caught. Not by me though!!!!! Disaster!!!!!!!!!! Keith 5 October 2002 Fished the dropping tide from 6pm to 10pm small surf no wind. At darkness fell couple of missed bites but then small whiting appeared close in to lugworm. Distance casting produced a couple of small coalies. An angler further up the beach caught AND RETURNED a small Bass. Hopefully the bigger fish will start to show soon. Reports that the Bay area is full of Ray and Blue Shark (400yds offshore). Keith 12
August 2003
8 September 2002 Time:Day Fished 3 hours on an incoming tide and Blanked - not so much as a bite - I must be doing something wrong. There was another guy fishing close by and he also had no lock. Paul 16 February 2003 Time:Day Fished 4 hours up to high tide at the docks. Not a bit. Between everyone there, a total of 6 rods in the water and the only catch was one Coalie. Moby
9 February 2003 Cold, cold and cold and not a dam bite all night. Noel
28 October 2002 Youghal Quays, Fished 1 hr ebb, 3hours incoming tide. Conditions were not ideal as the water was coffee coloured and the tide run became to strong to hold the bottom, despite been only a moderate tide. A few small whiting, but we got some nice coalies approx 2lb on crab and mackeral. One small founder and after dark we picked up 2 codling on crab and squid, again approx 2lb. Noel
18 August 2002 Time: Day Lots of Flounder, no great size most taken on peeler crab or peeler lug cocktail. Water full of sprat at full tide. The mackeral must be coming. Noel
