bass in wicklow

heading to wicklow on the bank holiday hunting bass can any one help with location ashave to travel from tullamore area willing to spend night and day to get one

you can try brittas bay, ennereilly, and just remember to keep the cast nice and short usually 10 to 30 yards will do

Have had good success at Brittas use big ragworm baits. Short casts only needed.

if you fish brittas and its not surfy head hook your rag and let em WRIGGLE

thanks lads for the tips just one little question well 2 why keep the cast short and any chance off a few directionsi looked at my map do i take the turn at jack whites pub?

1) Keep your cast short 'cos thats where the Bass usually (but dont be afriad to vary your casting distance)

2) Yep, turn at Jack Whites, Brittas Bay is well signposted there anyway

Hope you get a few for your trouble

Brittas will probably be very busy if the weather is going to be good. So don't fish the main beach...but if you drive along the main road - after you turn at Jack White's drive along the road and you will come to a T Junction take the right and follow the road and you will see a grass "car park" on your right hand side under some trees.
Go across the road and through the little fence and you will be onto the beach. Fish in the corner by the rocks where the stream runs out.

If you go along the same road, up the steep hill (past the car park mentioned above) and on your left you will see a few gaps in the ditch where you can get down to the little strand below. Park up the car and be careful getting down the bank as its along way to fall!!

thanks lads hopefully i will have a few good pics and storys to go with all your advise thanks

I'm heading down to brittas for a few days soon. I've never fished it before. How does it fish with lures? Would I be wasting my time bringing the spinning gear? I was thinking of trying the spot at the grass car park that rocker mentioned. I've been down there a few times with the kids and thought it looked a good spot. If anyone knows any other features, marks around there I'd love to hear them.
