hi everyone.i havent had any luck on the lures yet in 2010 and i hav tried
so many times.i think the water temp is too cold..i make off it needs to be
at least 12..currently the m3 wave buoy is reading 10/11..air temps also need
to be increased i think to 12/15 to get the crab moult started which in turn draws
the bass in...southerlys and milder weather are forecast for midweek so i hope
to have a few bass to report on by next sun although they will proberly be
taken on bait in surf conditions...by the way i hav caught 3 bass this year so
far on bait.a schoolie in jan a schoolie in feb on west cork surf beaches and
one of 5lb on a kerry beach while fishing with kevin brain..i also got a plaice
and flounder on a session tday...nice to get something anyway..anybody got
something to add about air/water temps in relation to bass fishing....g'luck
west cork bass nut.

it won't be long now mate, looking back at my own records for last year i started catching with the air temp at 14 and sea temp at 9 c. now that was early april last year so not long now. good luck.

Welcome Micheal,

The water temp off south wexford was 6.5 degress yesterday, still a bit to go yet for us. The inshore waters are a bit cooler than the off shore with ll this lovely clear crisp weather we have been having.

But it is going to be Epic when it does rise

Danny.

for sure i cant wait..i got my first bass last year in the end of april on the plugs..crystle
minnow in the silver mackeral colour accounted for a lot of early fish..roll on the ideal pluggin conditions.
