I have not fished in Cork harbour or say Clonakilty for bass, but I hear enough to know how good it can be

Stripers and hybrids have been on the main lake and mouths of major creeks all winter, following the baitfish, Andy said

Bed fishing in tight confines honestly needs heavy braid

The Rattlin Chug Bug has a weighted tail that helps with extra-long casts so you can quickly cover as much water as possible

Throw them on points, bluff walls, rocky banks or anywhere that bass are suspended or feeding up in the water column

While this technique works especially well on grass lakes, a swim jig is also great for catching bass around woody cover and docks
