A better season than last year, some nice double figure bass from local marks. A quiet July and August but since then some good all round sport when conditions are good. Personally it's been a good year with a new PB bass of 6lbs 7, 62cm from the bannow bay area. Better cod numbers so far and a late brief mackerel run.

That's why it's called fishing not catching :)

No bass for me either Corbyeire on the Wex beaches, and only 1 of my mates landed one all year in my presence....
was bad last year but at least i got a few.
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot
