Re: Specimen Bass, East Cork - 9th March
To my eternal shame - I dont eat fish !!
My father has about 4 steaks from him and is eating them tonight and my sister baked a couple of section in butter, white wine, salt, pepper, garlic dill and parsley and claimed it was the best fish dinner ever, wondering would I be back down there again next weekend ha!
Thanks again all, its just the luck of the draw - im not one for fancy gear and tricks at all and its nice when the luck is in (even if its taken about 20 years!)

Re: Specimen Bass, East Cork - 9th March
was just thinking how funny it would have been if someone a few miles down the beach was to pull in a beachcaster and then the bass.
