John Quinlan from Thatch Cottage Ireland reports that a few bass were caught last week when the conditions were poor, hopefully the improved conditions will see more caught this week…

Bass fishing conditions were tough last week – a mix of strong east winds and very coloured water. Still, there were a few bass around. And some were landed.

A bass caught in tough conditions will put a smile on your face

Conditions look to be improving from this week. A little more sunshine to warm the water up would be nice, but it is likely that things will pick up now that the wind is more in the West and the water clarity has improved.

Other Kerry bass reports
