Thanks Dave, it was off to a very slow start this year but hopefully it will continue to improve.

Yes, once the southwesterlies started to blow I reckoned the bass wouldn't be far behind.

At the moment the fishing is most likely better in Kerry, but West Waterford is beginning to fire up - hopefully there will be a couple of good weeks fishing before the closed season.
