[b]Results[3 bass]:
Haven't been out much this year but the latest catch reports got me going. Headed off to one of my favourite spots with fresh crab and a few frozen razor. Fished up until darkness, all bass were around the 3lb mark...lost 1 more in the surf and missed a huge bite. Crab took all of the bass. First bass of 09 for me so I was pleased

There is a closed season for bass from the 15th of May to the 15th of June each year. If you accidentally catch a bass during this period, just return him alive to the sea. Specimen bass cannot be claimed during the closed season.
The specimen weight for bass is 10 lbs and the Irish record currently stands at 17 lbs 13 ozs.
