Cormac Walsh is a well-known and very prolific bass angler, based in Co. Wexford in the heart of bass country. Cormac has just started a lure fishing podcast, exploring all things lure fishing. Lure fishing is an exciting way to fish for bass, with often explosive takes off the surface. In recent years, the range of hard lures has also been joined by soft plastics, with can be fished weedless. This allows bass anglers to fish much more ground, including thick weed and snaggy ground where hard lures with exposed hooks would be lost easily.
One of the new companies supplying lures to this market is Evobass, a startup founded by Michael Kelly and based in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. Another bass hotspot, unsurprisingly! In the opening episode, Cormac interviews Michael about his lures, bass fishing in general, and covers everything from amino acids to bass conservation!
