county antrim beach bass frenzy sat 6th dec

wow, what a wee session, much admit i am a tad jealous

I heard Browns Bay beach produces a few Bass on the right conditions Alan.

just need some around north down now and i'll be happy

There are some around n.down dan you just need to work hard on a mark near millisle ,they are definly there
you just have to put the hours in like al and jordan ,come hell or high water no matter what the weather those ejjits will be fishing

i mite give millisle a go for 'em on the next day theres a good easterl wind and a good swell in the water. i heard that their around ballywalter, but dont know. suppose if theres golden grey mullet around millisle theres no reason why there shouldnt be bass either.

would love to see a photo of that golden grey dan ,was it caught in millisle ? didn't think they had reached this far north yet . might be worth trying for them next year if it's def a golden grey .

what can i say?, we live to fish. and we fish to live it' the sheer magic of casting out and never knowing what's gonna come back in on the end of your hook.

Well done lads, I had my very first bass on killiney last night and got a thrill from that. I can only imagine how you guys were feeling. Well done again!!

I have heard of people catching bass out at ballyhalbert but never seen any evidence of it. There has been bass caught of browns bay but I dont think in any great numbers though

Well done lads I'd say ye still have smiles on yer faces from it

i have a photo it isnt very clear but you can see the golden mark on the head w's a fine fighter for sure.

i heard of one or two on benone which is a good bit further north than millisle, but havn't seen a pic yet.

if you don't believe me ask my uncle, he saw the pics. thats if he's got over it yet

out of interest dan how big was it?

and you do know that you get grey mullet with golden spots on the gill covers dont you?

yep but this was a dark golden colour on the report i put on davy put a pic of a grey mullet with the speck on the gill, but mine was a lot darker.

it was about a pound.

i don't think it was a thick lipped.

well done stephen you're as new to the club as us then . and craigo your too right we're still grinning like two luved up clubbers

during the summer months we heard lots of rumors of bass in the same area stevie, but we never saw any pictures of any. and i have come to realize that when it comes to angling you should'nt believe all you hear, unless there's a pic to back it up

Your turning into a right double act, fair play to you lads , lovely bit of shore fishing

Great report and well done.

I wonder are these bass coming across from Scotland - they're inundated in some places with them - Barry Scholes was telling stories that most of us found hard to believe (well it is Scotland for heavens sake) but based on this report, I wonder if it's all true? Lots of fresh relatively young bass like that on the beaches in Antrim is wonderful news...

cheers pete, it would take the sky to fall or the seas to dry up to keep us away from the shores and even then i bet we could fond a rock pool to dip a line in

I wonder are these Bass coming across from Scotland

could be kieran, after all it is only 20 odd miles across the sea. but if they are i just wish the cod would follow them over
