Hello Mr. Hill.
I am a cantabrian seabass fisherman. I am from Gijon (Asturias), and practise shore and inshore spinning.
I know a lot of spanish fishermen who go fishing to Ireland and it is becoming a "hot point" for seabass angler in my country.
I think humans want whatever they can't have ;)
Anyway, Asturias is a beautiful place to practise fishing or get some relax, but Frebruary is not the best month because of the weather. April or May problably are the best for spinning.
You can see sea conditions in http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=48711&switchlang=1 .
I like W-NW wind direction up to 9knots, the same wave direction up to 2m (I like 1,5m in most places) and period between 7 to 11 . I think are the best contions for seabass.
Abaut lures, long cast slim minnows are probably the best choice (Saltiga Slender 17, Tide Minnow 175 Slim Flyer, T.M.150 Surf, Max Rap 15-17...and Nabarone 150 as you show). In surface, Z-Claw, Patchinko and Sammy 115.
Medium Heavy or Heavy power rods between 9' to 11' and 20lbs braided line with 0,43-0,50mm shockleader is what I recomend because of sharp rocks and shallow water. I use to go with a Fireblood 270H and Stella 5000SW.
If the sea conditions are calm, you should have some light lures as Sasuke, Flash Minnow 110 Ghost,Nabarone 125 and softbaits and dicrease the shockleader diameter around 0,35mm.
I wish you get fun and I'll be glad to guide you if you need in Asturias. Some friends and I go fishing every weekend we can.
Regards.

RG,,,Thanks for yor advice it is great that anglers can interact from different countries ,,we are keeping our fingers crossed with the weather as you do all over the world of Bass fishing in Winter months,super stuff with the lure advice too we are all experienced Bass anglers coming over so meeting up would be great for all of us
Graham - it would be great to meet up with RS (the locals really know their stuff!)
Perhaps RS can tell us how to get a " Licencia de pesca marítima de recreo (orilla)"
@ RS - we are having terrible problems getting a license in advance - the form at asturias.es is only in Spanish & requires a NIE number (we only have passport numbers) - can we get them on arrival quickly? (we fly into OVD) - any idea where we get them & how long it takes?
I have also written to the people at asturias.es but no answer yet
Cheers
Tom

Would be great to meet up, looking forward to fishing your beautiful coast.

Hello Spitfire66.
I am looking for information abaut this. I think that your Irish License for shore fishing (not for freshwater) is accepted in Asturias because of being in European Community, but I am not sure.
I will ask some friends abaut this and I'll tell you.
If you have Skype or Hotmail account, I could inform you easier.
In the case you have to get spanish license, I think it is quickly. Don't worry abaut this.
Thazs really kind - still waiting to hear back from the Ministry - funny thing in a way - we all want to fish legally (we even practice C&R)
Im sure it will work out
Look forward to meeting (you can mail Graham via the site no problem)
Cheers
Tom

Yes a NIE number is required for a licence but it is obtainable from the main police office (centro gestor) as "certificado de registrado de ciudadano de la Union" @ about 14€. takes about 2 hours to obtain.Shore licence is 14€ for 5 years if brought through government office in port Mussel Gijon instead of 30€ / year for tourists.
