Fields of gold

Again that superb bubble head mega bass lure nails a 5 lb er one of my fave close up bass pictures from my recent visit to see the boys in Ireland notice the jaw grip for total control for unhooking procedures and a safe return of the hard fighting bass in the fast shallow water

I just couldn't resist this picture the now 20 month old gold van staal in a field of barley
i think it would make sting proud it certainly does me!! my own piece of bling but what a reel this is ,,it has had a trial over the last 20 months and has passed with flying colours i just cannot imagine any Japanese make or any other coming close to the class act of the van staal for pure ruggedness and most of all reliability in the world of lure fishing

whooo!!! just look at this place ,,just fishing heaven,,the place we stayed in Ireland recently
got its own pier,launching points and just masses of peeler crab two bathrooms,very comfy and sleeps six easy all bookings for this heaven on earth call me any time on the blog and pat services will be included too ,,so a week of pure magic Bass fishing can be arranged for you

here another one from the Ireland trip Henry trying to get to a fishing spot further out than anyone else ,,he did not make it but by goodness he tried,,





we had a great time especially for a few fish as August is not the greatest of months for Bass fishing in Ireland i am already planning trips for the big Bass in October and November and off our marks with Pat and Cian we will certainly bump into a big fella or two,,there is a record potential this year for sure....... check out pats guiding blog below to wet you Bass appetite

any one interested in a back end this year for some spectacular Bass fishing give pat or myself a call

Heres pat with a superb estuary caught Bass on a Megabass METAL-X Bubbleheader what a nice lure and very effective in the yellow pattern i think it was 16g weight plenty to hold the fast current where the Bass lurked
A great day was had by all

Above is the Ayu feed shallow by far the most succsessful shallow running lure around at the moment deadly over the shallow grounds in Ireland,,,

We had a fantastic time in Ireland last week with the boys and heres a little taster of what is to come
