Cormac Walsh of the Lure Fishing Podcast had been putting in a lot of time chasing bass with Keith Barry, and they had experienced a frustrating run of blank sessions. They were out again recently and spent a day flogging the water with no response. They could see birds feeding just off shore, beyond casting distance, so they knew fish were in the area, but they just wouldn’t come in close. Then, just as the light was fading, they saw the activity move closer to the shore a little bit down the beach from them. A quick dash down the beach and a cast into the hot spot saw them hit action straight away. And the action continued for a good 40 minutes. It’s those memorable sessions where it eventually comes right that keep you going through all the blanks! See the full report on Cormac’s Facebook page.
