Cormac Walsh of The Lure Fishing Podcast stepped away from the mic this week to make the most of the big tides building up to this week’s full moon. Here is Cormac’s report:
I always love this time of year on the bass if the conditions are right. I had a note in my diary of good action on these tides last year, conditions were perfect this time around too so it was looking good. An hour before high tide produced the best sessions over the last few days with the big high tides pushing the fish in tight to the shore.
The bass were in excellent condition, best I’ve seen all year, big, well fed and fighting fit – and the presence of large shoals of small mullet inshore stoked the bass into a proper feeding frenzy.
No other lure needed except the trusty IMA Lures UK & Ireland Sasuke 120f and my Major Craft UK & Ireland Major Tidrift as reliable as ever. The bass were hammering the lure in close and nearly pulling the rod out of my hands on occasions, great craic altogether.
Hopefully they stick around a little while longer and we get at them again.
Tight lines – Cormac 👍🎣
