i didnt think Bass ventured past wexford after oct
its a long time since i fished for them till recently, but when i did, i never saw Bass after the shoals of pollock turned up in late october, and the earliest they would be seen again was late march n0w i beieve they dont venture far from where they were spawned until they are about 4 lb
someone mentioned an onshore breeze churnin the bottom
i have only ever seen nights when larger numbers of Bass were caught arund dublin when we had east winds bringin good surf
anyone know about their movements
bass habits

Re: Bass habits
They can be caught along the S and SW coast every month of the year, just make sure conditions are right.

so they may be along the east coast all year? if conditions are right
and are the bass caught between nov-feb under 5 lb ?
just curious cause i grew up fishing for them and got to know a good bit about their habits in a particular area and im just gettin back into it now and to me they are the ultimate fish bar none
