Bass from Jan to March

I know its accepted wisdom that most shore fish and the fishing in general goes down hill during these months. During the last few years I'm noticing that this necessarily isn't the case - any body have any hands on experience on how the bass fishing fares during this period? Im looking at south coast in particular but would be interested to hear anybodies opinion. :)

I no that you can get bass down in waterford from january 2 march, not as many of course but there around if your lucky enough to get one..got a bass myself last week!

dont mention the b word !!!!!!!!!!!

as i was saying to ya pete if you get the conditions to co-incide with highwater a few hours after dark i'b be relatively hopeful of catching a few. genuine chance still exists until the middle of feb tho.

Good I'm glad to hear that. I think I remember reading something about a lot of the bigger bass being taken in Kerry during the depths of winter.

I caught my personal best bass of 7lb/8lb ....Dec 30th 2005...........

So Yes ..............they do seem to be all year round.species now..................


Just a matter of finding the resident fish.

Forgot to mention...............that it was low water and 9am.....
