Tomasz Ekert from the blog Sea Bass Hunting  in Dingle reports lots of small bait fish, mackerel, pollack and coalfish around at the moment and from time to time some nice Sea Bass.   Tomasz’s  best result this week  was 8 fish in two hours. Good bass but unfortunately not very large.  But that is still better than the last few months and he still looks forward to a few more weeks of fishing.

National Bass Programme

IFI has established a National Bass Programme to collect data on bass in order to provide scientific advice to support management and conservation of Ireland’s bass resource. Bass is Ireland’s only marine fish species which is managed for angling. The programme is being developed to determine the status of bass stocks and also to improve understanding of their ecology and biology in Ireland for the long-term sustainability of the species.
