First session in Cork and first lure caught Bass, (excluding stripers back in the day!). After four or so sessions in South Dublin and some nice sport with Pollack and Mackerel but not a sniff of a bass, Cork (no surprise there!) has produced the goods. This greedy looking four pounder obliged and accepted my Feed Shallow. I had at least one other decent fish follow a Zonk to the water’s edge.

The location was from the shore in Cork Harbour. I should imagine most people with transport would give the actual venue a miss since there is so much great fishing in the general area. However, this particular spot satisfied my prerequisite of being accessible by public transport!

So thanks again to those of you who responded to my previous thread regarding moving to Cork.

Thanks for the welcome! As it happens I got out there again yesterday. Two mackerel and four Bass, the smallest Bass was 3 lbs with the remaining three all between 4.5 and 5lbs. The first fish took a Feed Shallow and the rest opted for a Zonk. They were really on the feed, I reckon there was a good chance of catching some more but I had to move on. Regardless, at least I’ve got my ‘Bass fix' in grand style!

The secret has definately got out this year , county Cork is not a bad old spot for a bit of fishing ......
You weren't tempted to try one of the mackeral instead of a plug, just incase there was a monster around?
Congrats on the fix you seem to have hit the ground running , as they say.
