Nice1 Frank, it's great to see the positive bass reports coming in already for the Cork beaches. I'm dying to get out to try for a silver fella but up to my ears in nappies - we'd a spring tide catch of a 7.5lb newborn on the 17th 
Keep the reports coming! I'm guessing razir is still the bait of choice at this time of year?

Well done that was a fine catchRonnach wrote:we'd a spring tide catch of a 7.5lb newborn on the 17th

Yes razor is mostly what I am using and the bass are going for it. I still have a good stock of razor in the freezer and slowing working my way through it - easier than digging lugRonnach wrote:I'm guessing razir is still the bait of choice at this time of year?
