Report:Fished 3 short sessions at Dungarvan. One on Saturday morning with lures over low water, hooked a good fish had him on surface 5 yards out when cheap treble i hadn't changed snapped.

No problem Art. King rag seems to do the business.

Nice fish mate. The bass even looks old...! :-)

As for king rag - its my prefered bait for Bass. The vast majority of my bigger bass have been taken on it. Have seen some double figure bass taken on it in Dublin and Waterford.
