Nice, seems to be a few of em hanging about. Maybe the unusually warm weather this winter is helping. (Ok its not the bahamas but its not -12 with snow) :-)

Fair play Roger, its great to see people catching something other than a pin whiting. I ain't been out on this east coast now for 6+ weeks, I just can't cope with The whiting and small flounders. It's great to see bass showing up still, now you need get a big double figure to end the year

I was out yesterday for the bass down wexford way and the wind was terrible. the weed was unreal and the pull of the tide was just to much, I ended up with a nice bass for it tho. I didn't even know it was a bass cause off all the weed, thought it was a flounder with a big load off weed. Was a nice fat bass off about 3-4 lb.
