never caught a bass and Tim promised him he would have success with the Eire Bass Guide. The photo shows Billy
with one of 9 bass caught on a very hectic session with Richie. 12 bass were hooked up in total with 9 landed.
When Billy returned from his bass session, his wife asked him what the fishing was like.Billy replied that he had
just had the best day of his life - Oops ! Needless to say she was not impressed

Frenchman Has Bass Success

Frenchman Jean Luc Alzas with a fine bass caught with Eire Bass guide 
Richie Ryan.In fact , Jean Luc caught 5 bass on the day and remarkably caught 

3 in 3 casts at one particular spot ! Strangely all the bass were the same size and were returned safely to spawn.

Double Dutch

    Father and son Pete and Harry Sliep have been to Ireland many times fishing but neither had ever caught a bass.
    They tasked Richie Ryan of Eire Bass to break that duck. Not one to shy from a challenge, Richie left the quayside in Cobh and within minutes both father and son had their first bass on board. In 30 years coming to Ireland fishing father Pete could not believe his luck. Four bass were caught and three lost in a quick session before their flight back to Holland that afternoon.They have promised to return and  book Richie again next year and to spread the word about Cork Harbour Bass.

Becs First Bass

John Roulston has fished for a number of years with Richie Ryan of Eire Bass and has had a lot of success on board "Sea Hawk" with Richie. John's daughter Rebecca needed to catch her 1st bass so he turned to the Eire Bass guide to get that bass.  Richie has a bit of a reputation for organising that elusive 1st catch and within a short while Becs had her first ever bass on board. The fish was a fine 6 lb. and the smile on the photo says it all. She also boasted that it was bigger than her brother's first bass, also on board.

Another First Bass

Young Harvey Ormsby aged 9 was treated to a days fishing by good friend Tim Murrell on board Richie Ryan'sboat "Sea Hawk" recently. Harvey , from Bolton , was on holidays and wanted to catch a fish.As conditions deteriorated, Richie decided to head for a sheltered secret location of his.
 Harvey had his first bass of approx 6 lbs ( see photo) and a further 2.The largest fish was a fine bass of 8 lbs weight .As Harvey struggled to boat the fish it was decided to release the bass straight away in order not to stress her any further. In fact all fish were released.
Tim got slagged as he managed only one bass, but it was his first ever bass also !

Liam's First Sea Bass

Young Liam Cabral, aged 10 with his first ever sea bass. The fish weighed approx 6 lbs and nearly pulled him in! Liam is from Canada and loves fishing.  He was out with his father on Richie Ryan's boat Sea Hawk and caught more fish than his dad Dinis!
