Well done mate great results and some cracking fish and great pics also. It is not looking too good for the weekend, but if there were some place where the weed were not too bad then some great fishing could be had and very good returns had.

Thanks guys,

A nice tally of Bass for January!!
Thanks, it was pleasant surprise to get that many bass in January, especially after the cold weather in November and December - I thought they would be gone until at least March but I guess they must not move very far off shore and have come back in with the return of the southwesterlies.

Thanks Sean, might be worth trying the East Cork beaches, bass seem fairly plentiful there but there haven't been too many reports of West Waterford bass yet.

It was windy!!! - I had a short session myself on Saturday, massive surf, probably too rough but I did manage to add another bass to my tally :D :D :P :P

Fantastic fishing yet again Frank. You really are starting to make me jealous :mrgreen: :lol: You can't beat the fresh lugworm and razor for bait, it very rarely lets you down and the bass just go mad for it :D It's worth all that hard work digging for the lug when you catch nice plump fish like that! I will have to get that trip organised down to you this year for some serious bass action 8)
An excellent report, well written with great detail as always, with great pictures to match. Well done.

Thanks Paula, lug and razor certainly are the best bait for bass when beach fishing. Yes definitely head down this way, this year is looking like a good year for bass :!:

I still have a freezer full of razor from last year, but I do know a good spot for big juicy lug provided the tide drops low enough.
