Winter Bass off To Ireland

The last trip over to Ireland was a little rough to say the least Adrian and myself, even came back to the UK a day early the weather just was not playing ball at all we met up and had some great craic with anglers like us were chomping at the bit to get out there but with the coloured water even in Ireland ,,forget it really ,fish can be caught in coloured water on lures but that's another story for another day Cian and the Lads from absolute fishing kept us entertained with tea and biscuits with all those Irish fishy stories,talk eventually went back a to when Cian and i fished together through the winter months of previous years with a few years where Bass were captured all year round on lures so if the weather plays ball the posibilities for catching Bass are endless



Above a Tidy bass was nailed the second week in March 2009 on a plastic shad the last couple of years have been severe with the weather this year is a lot warmer some 20 degrees on this note i remember winter 2007/8 when the Bass ran through all year on the wexford waterford coast ,,Kerry does seem to be place on a regular basis for winter Bass,,

A fiesty Christmas ,New Year Bass one of a dozen Bass nailed on X Slayers in the festive period of 2008 so these  fish are around taking lures when the conditions prevail,

Carol ,Arron and Myself are getting the ferry over to Ireland on the 27th December for a winter fish,, in last year Temps were minus15 this year is a different ball game fingers crossed the weather looks OK have a look at  magicseaweed i know you all have your own weather stuff but i find this the most accurate guide we have to the winds swells and tides,
