John Quinlan from Thatch Cottage Ireland reports that the bass are hitting surface lures at the moment. john tells u that this has to be the best way to catch bass.
There is no denying that catching bass off the top is very exciting. Between the chases, follows, tail slaps, hits and misses its hard to become a ball of nerves. But the traditional methods are still worth trying…
Stephen Brennan of IrishSportFishing.com was also fishing the Waterville area. Fishing with Dave Roe he reports that nothing was obviously different about this day in the Waterville area than any other day…
The conditions were OK, the surf was OK, the tides weren’t bad, etc. Dave had his first cast and within 5 minutes had a slack line bite resulting in a 10b 7oz bar of silver.
After a few quick photos and measurements we sent her on her way. And that was it for the day – not another bite! We could fish this spot for another ten days and not see another fish like this. Fishing is great, isn’t it?
Go fishing…
