Jim Clohessy reports on his seasonal trip with Andrew Davies on the hunt for bass…

Both vertical and casting can yield fish. While it looks dull we had fine sunshine for a lot of the day.

We didn’t launch as early as we wished but we still enjoyed some decent fishing in the morning and though less prolific on the afternoon flood we still had some fine fish. We ranged about and had some variety as well. Andy had a cracking mullet that fought like a demon, on a spindle worm.

With a slight colour in the water pink was doing ok for both of us.

It was great to get into some decent chunky hard fighting bass.

All told it was a very enjoyable session; great craic and some decent fish. I’d say it has rekindled my bass buzz somewhat!

We have a bit of a break in the weather now but surely we’ll get a crack at these again…
