Is it too early for Lures

Hi all

I was thinking of heading down to north Wexford on Saturday for a bit of fishing. Would I be wasting my time using the lures for bass? Had a good few bass last year on lures but that was from July onwards. Doin some pike fishin at the moment but it is just not the same. All help appreciated.
Thanks
Tommy

I know that there is a bunch of lads headed for wexford sunday with bags of fancy plastic, So youd never know tides suit also.

Going to head to waterford so heres hoping. Will let ye know if we get anything.

I was out in wexford for a few hours yesterday never got a tap mind you that means noting

Cheers lads good to know I won't be the only very optimistic angler out there I'll
let you know how I get on.

you can get bass this time of year but use sp very slow best of luck.

You mean i can get bass this time of the year on sp"s

Bigballs remember a certain man in Waterford getting 13 last year in cold weather!! 8 anglers and he was the only 1 that got 1!!!!!!

I sure do mate awsome fishing

Keeps the blood pressure up!

Waterford tomorrow and fingers crossed it aint to early.

Well lads fished today and not a sausage. Slight easterly blowin and the water was murky in some places and crystal in others.
The seal was about as always so maybe there was something there. Good to get out though and try the new gear.
Let us know how you get on whoever is goin out.

Fair play for getting out there. Better than spending the day watching telly, plus you got to see your old friend Sammy the seal!

cannot speak for everywhere but we catch on lures all through the year here on the Beara. John Angles had a 8-9 bass about a month ago on a shallow diver in two feet of water and i have had fish to 4lbs through the winter.
Clean water is important though.

I've also read somewhere that Kerry is one of the better counties to try earlier in the year, (roughly the same neck of woods as the Beara I suppose). I'm not speaking from experience, maybe some of the Kerry lads could confirm or deny!

friends catching fish in kerry as I speak -

Thanks for the confirmation Jim. You can send over the limo, I'm itching for some Kerry bassing!

Tried today with lures and bait from a usually productive East Cork rock mark on the coming tide for a few hours but didn't have a nibble. Was hoping for an early pollock.

was out this evening bit cold water clarity was good and no weed think the swell was a bit to much though no fish

tried a spot in nth clare saturday, not a sausage - bit of weed knocking round so the lure action wasnt great

heard of a few got on lures south of lahinch...

theres a few taking lug at the moment so it shouldnt be too long until they are on the lures
