Pat O’Shea from the Cork Harbour Angling Hub reports that some of the young guns are getting in on the act lately. With the outer harbour marks producing a flush of recently arrived bass young turk, Darragh McCarthy, tagged along with seasoned bass angler, Andrew Davies, and another for a lure session and gave them a good run for their money.

Darragh has been fishing the Cork Harbour marks with vigour over the last few weeks and the other evening his efforts were rewarded. In fact, Darragh had a bit of a ‘red letter day’ and had 7 bass in total on plugs. Well done Darragh!!! You’re certainly one to watch for the future!!!
