Gear of the Year 2025 (10% off everything on this list at Veals Mail Order until midnight on 14.12.2025)
My deliberate choices have probably resulted in less bass for me this year, but I have learnt SO much and I have had so much fun
Is there something about a pink coloured lure in bright and bouncy conditions?
Give me that shorter swell period any day of the week for the open coast
So easy to spend your time blasting lures to the horizon when in fact the fish were in the gutter almost beneath my feet

A few lure related Black Friday offers I found on Veals Mail Order
So interested to see what might happen this winter……….
With how thin many braids are these days, is there much advantage to going lighter/thinner for the more finesse stuff? (frigging labelling!)
Can or does a rattle in a soft plastic produce more bass? Previous sneaky behaviour stuff comes to light!
Awful conditions, but my mate got his first bass on a creature bait, lovely fish as well
Fishing like this makes me so happy!
I do love a good hard lure, but I do feel extra confident with soft plastics and that bigger, single hook
This potentially wonderful time of year for bass fishing can often be a juggling act!
Putting your head above the parapet means you’re going to cop it from time to time, but I’m going to call some stuff out as unacceptable (Monday rant!)
Amazing how this bass hit me in such shallow water and so close to the beach, all this estuary fishing is also helping my open coast fishing
I convince myself that this sort of lure colour works best for me in a specific situation, then this goes and happens
