THIRTYARDS

Bass Fishing. At the pace of the saltwater flyfishing coast. Wexford, Ireland – est 2003.

Where are we now with our bass fishing?

A strange silence is evident.

Last Thursday evening I bass fished in a southerly blow. Wet, windy, the waves broke and hissed and the rain fell heavily. Just on the edge of a system. In a two hour period I landed and returned two very nice fish. I was extremely lucky and delighted too. The previous evening I had also fished with a new range of flies from Andy Elliot. Whilst I also had fish, the luck i had on Tuesday evening was even better when, I landed a 68cm fish on the first cast as I was adjusting my foot position! The fly drifted onto the fish.

So there’s a lot of fish on the coast?

    Your writing is similar to Tom McGuane in that it transcends what we normally read about our sport
