Tomasz Ekert reports in his blog Sea Bass Hunting that he had a great start to his bass fishing season…

On a cold stormy day last Thursday, Tomasz had a short fishing session after work.  He starts his bass fishing early this year in Kerry.  It was March 11th last year when he caught his first bass.

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.
