It can be found near the coast, as well as in the shelter of rocky outcrops… Want to try your luck? Here are our tips for good bass fishing in Ireland…
You don’t need complicated equipment to fish for bass! All you need is a good rod capable of delivering 30 to 70g, fitted with a fixed-spool reel. All you need is a wide range of lures, from surface lures to soft lures and swimbaits… (No need for live lures!)
