I'm happy enough with Benone! Hasn't produced anything massive for me but it has a healthy stock of Bass and thats good enough for me! I ain't blanked on it yet either.

hey nelson....if you are lookin bass just stay up at benone there is always more bass activity up there or try castlerock at the mouth of the bann last time i fished it (castlerock at the mouth of the bann) i had 5 eels (silver) and 6 small flounder all on rag and lug and i know there is bass there too...or even try the rocks at castlerock on the right had side with sandeels or rag on a 3 hook flapper dropped at your feet and not the 3rd breaker
