Such fun with our first group of anglers
Out in Ireland for a couple of weeks of guiding
Heard about another double figure bass on the Gravity Stick Paddletail, it’s always such a buzz when these lures work so well for an angler
Westin W2 SBass 9' 9-35g lure rod rod review - at £94.99, another very interesting sub-£100 rod
Moving a little bit of weight to the front with some of these smaller twitchbaits is really interesting
Easy to get locked into your localised bass fishing bubble, when in fact things can be so different all around the UK and Europe
I am at Gerry’s Fishing tackle shop this Saturday (21st June) for an Open Day, hope to see some of you there!
A load of bass around, could see them busting on bait, they took some working out though
When a good bass continues to refuse my offerings, I sometimes wonder whether seeing the fish I am chasing is good for my health!
Is there a bit of a move back towards some of the slightly shorter lure rods again? How do you gauge what’s going on out there?
Sometimes a touch hasty to add weight to paddletails? Could the “naked” approach help with a specific situation?
Why do so many anglers make it so awkward to change a lure when you’re fishing?
The Gomexus TPE Power Knob 27mm is doing a touch more for me than just being a replacement spinning reel handle
Sakura Ryokan 902MH 9' 9-35g lure rod review - under £100
Slowing down with this subtler estuary fishing is causing me to see a lot more interesting stuff going on, embarrassing language though!
When you haven’t fished a particular method for a while, I sometimes wonder if I can really feel it. And then you get hit!
If you use a leader, what influences which one you use? Trust or price or availability or whatever you have lying around?
Sakura Iconic RS “Distance Finesse” 802ML+ 8' 5-15g (but easily fishes 25g) lure rod review - around £275 in the UK
Far more experienced anglers than me tell me that these are bass feeding holes
So much “feel” with this lighter gear that I felt a bass literally pick up (inhale?) my lure and then reject it
