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?

A fascinating new video from Ultimate Fishing specifically about fishing for bass with the MegaBass Sleeper Craw lure
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)
Could a mainline like Berkley FireLine make any difference at all around the really rough stuff?
Favorite Totem 842M 8'4'' 6-24g lure rod review - £159.99 (remarkably close to the incredible Favorite Black Swan 8’5’’ 6-24g rod)
More bass on the creature baits, itching to experiment with different lures and presentations, feels like there needs to be more fish around for that
Was I really going to catch? Had to have a go, conditions were lovely, the light went loopy, and I got to play with some lures I bought over the weekend
