didn't realise i opening a can of worms on this. I did on purpose not mention bass in particular though in the title...
I think the more opinions the better to be honest. every angler i meet has there own way of looking at it, and it would be great to hear them, and useful for everyone to learn from others expriences.
would be useful for picking marks on a map say to target bass, codling, smoothies, Tope, ray, gunard, and flounder.
Personaly i'd fish anywhere from skerries to rosslare but it takes me so long to decide on a mark;
If theres a NW on a spring neap tide what kind of beach direction, dept should i be looking for on a map
if theres a SW/SE wind with a swell again what should i be looking for on a map. north facing beach, east or south?
How does the weather effect your decision making on which mark to visit?
