So much “feel” with this lighter gear that I felt a bass literally pick up (inhale?) my lure and then reject it
Was it a fluke? Only one way to find out - get back out there!
So pleased to catch my first bass on a creature bait which wasn’t the (rather amazing) MegaBass Sleeper Craw
Pretty sure that was my first, purely sight-fished bass in an estuary, what a buzz!

As good as paddletails are, over some ground it sometimes feels like only a “twitch stick” will get the job done and produce fish
Working with the people you’re fishing with to find out what the fish want, and how they want it presented
That one small bass from yesterday morning might end up being the most exciting fish I catch all year
Letting lures wash around in turbulence, I don’t do it enough
Saw a US fishing video where a bloke said something like “let’s be honest, paddletails are all pretty much the same”. Is that really the case?
Very cool to see some keen youngsters fishing so well

A fascinating new video from Ultimate Fishing specifically about fishing for bass with the MegaBass Sleeper Craw lure
Most gorgeous start to spring since we were first locked down in the pandemic?
When rigging soft plastics for shallowish water, what are your reasons for going with either a belly-weighted weedless/offset hook OR a weedless jig head?
Scaling down and getting subtler to catch more and/or bigger bass?
I know it’s March, but this morning’s blank is going to niggle me for a while
There is so much more to jig heads than I realised, I am still finding stuff out about them that I didn’t know
I know it’s still March (easy to get overexcited), but I am interested to see what might happen when the conditions change, later in the week?
Do you make any modifications to the fishing tackle or gear that you use? (would love to hear your ideas, I’m always up for messing around with stuff)
