ABOUT IRISH BASS

Irish Bass was originally formed in January 2007 by a group of bass anglers and people involved in bass angling businesses as the "Irish Bass Protection and Awareness Group" in response to what we perceived as a decline of bass stocks in Irish coastal waters caused, in our opinion, by significant illegal commercial fishing.

The Irish Bass website was launched in October 2008 with the aim of becoming the focal point for Bass fishing in Ireland, for both Irish and visiting international anglers. Our contributers include anglers and professional angling guides, all of whom have one thing in common, they are passionate about Bass and Bass Fishing.

Illegal commercial fishing still poses a significant threat to our remaining Bass stocks and addressing this threat remains one of the core aims of Irish Bass.

However, although illegal commercial fishing remains a threat, we believe that Ireland still offers some of the best bass sport fishing available in Europe. We hope that the new Irish Bass website will allow anglers to share their Bass fishing experiences with others, as well as providing information enabling other to enjoy similar experiences.

If you share our passion for Bass and Bass Fishing and would like to contribute to the website then get in touch now!
