I always do these simple things to any spinning reel before I fish with it, and it works really well - for me
First open coast session since I got back from Ireland, found a bunch of fish, I did some happy yelping!
ABU Superior 3000SH spinning reel review - less than £100
Wow these lures look good in the water when rigged like this
Such a fun start with our second group, but a rather embarrassing “guiding” moment from me!
Tough fishing with our first group, but we got a few, second group starts fishing today
A couple of days in with our first group of anglers
Away doing some filming with Savage Gear, hectic!
That first bass hit after not fishing for a week+ was like an electric shock
A few paperclip style lure clips which all do the same thing really rather well (this is what not being able to go fishing does to me!)
Why don’t more bass anglers carry a landing net? Is it a macho thing? (most exciting day so far this year, the Ashes cricket is finally starting!!)
APIA Foojin'RS Lynx 93M 9'3'' 6-42g lure rod review - £389.99 in the UK
Plenty of bass around but I could have easily blanked, never seen them being so picky about the lure (how often are we not giving them what they want?)
Daiwa BG MQ 4000D-XH spinning reel, around £200 - initial impressions after a month of fishing with it
One species of fish with infinite possibilities, where could we be another few years down the line if anglers keep challenging what we think we know?
Penn Conflict Elite 9’6’’ 6-32g lure rod review - around £320 here in the UK
A fascinating couple of fishing tackle trade related days
Fishing isn’t quite fishing to me unless I’m trying a few new places and experimenting with how I fish
I’d sure love an inkling as to why bass seem to like pink lures in deeper and often murkier water
There’s something about that hit on a lure in the dark which seriously does it for me (but not so much the photography side of things)
