Clonea?

#1 Post by thirty »

Well Lads, I'm thinking of trying Clonea for the first time on Sunday, what part should I head for the best chance of a fish this time of year, directions would be appreciated, I'm travelling from Wexford so I know how to get as far as the Dungarven area, not sure of the tide for Sunday yet but it should be high sometime in the afternoon..........thanks.

iv used crab to great success for bigger bass and found lug worked well for ones about the 4lbs mark. the bigger ones are scarcer but quality is better than quality, or do you think quantity is a quality all of its own :P :shock:
