Wexford guide Gerard Doran of www.southeastanglingservices.com ensured that two Swiss fishing buddies visiting Wexford had a week to remember.  Ger reports:

Ger Doran - Gabriel and Patrick in WexfordGabriel and Patrick visited Wexford last week for five days of guided fishing. The aim was to fish for many species using various methods with some Bass high on the agenda.

Before their arrival the weather was very poor so I contacted them in advance to explain the situation and challenges it would present but the guys were committed to travelling to Ireland for their weeks vacation. I collected Lugworm in Dublin for the week ahead and gathered some crab from a local estuary to ensure plenty of quality fresh and frozen bait was available.

Ger Doran - Gabriel and Patrick in Wexford with bassBait angling using Peeler crab, Lugworm and Mackerel  produced the best fishing with some cracking estuary flounder and some bass landed too during the week. Even when bait fishing light tackle was used which is very sporting and great fun while playing fish.

Fishing was not hectic but despite this fish were landed every day with a total of 15 different species of fish caught by the end of the week, not bad considering we were not actually on a species hunt. Gabriel and Patrick fished hard all week and were rewarded with some good sized fish along with the smaller ones which they also enjoyed catching on ultra light gear, many of the fish caught were a new species for them with the bass being the most special of course.
