hi Alan there is a odd bass around ballyconneelly and clifden,I was told about a lad getting 7 small bass out in ballyconneelly about 3 years ago and last year a fellow saw a good size one swimming by the rock he was fishing on

they are in clifden bay as well,I lost one around the 3lb weight from the north side of the bay near Slopers Cliff2 years ago
I was also talking to a few ould lads that said that out by the old diving board was very good for them a few years ago
