I can’t believe how excited I am getting these days about what are essentially “straight sticks” that do so little in the water, but to me needlefish are changing our bass fishing for the better

We did some RNLI fishing safety related filming on the north Cornwall coast this week - fascinating difference between swell and those “rough” conditions we had in their training pool
I’m starting to look around for a longer, more powerful lure rod for heavier lures and/or some surf based bass fishing - how about some of the lighter US striped bass rods?
I have finally gone and fallen in (shore fishing) love with the 25g Offshore jig head that goes with the 120mm (no.3) Fiiish Black Minnow
How many bass anglers deliberately target “proper” surf conditions with lures, and are some of us missing a trick?
The tug is the drug - when you haven’t fished for a couple of weeks, holy cow is that first fish a great feeling
Great to be home, but it’s always hard to leave Kerry
Where on earth would we be without soft plastics? (and a goodbye to our first group)
First day with our clients out here in Kerry - about as calm and clear and warm and dry as it’s ever going to get out here, but there are bass around
Heading over to Kerry on Sunday for a guiding trip
It creatively breaks my heart when I need to shoot grip and grins like these, but what choice do we have?
Are these new to the UK Doomsday Tackle “Laggin’ Dragon” soft plastics a viable alternative to my beloved DoLive Stick?
If you could use only one lure colour for evermore, what would it be? (This post is inspired by a photo I saw of a monster shore caught Cornish bass on Monday that was nudging 88cms long!)
Is there anything more satisfying than taking a complete punt on a mark and finding a bit of decent fishing?
Will a floatation suit save your life if you end up in the water? Another video from our RNLI testing day……….
Do many of you here NOT use a fluoro or mono leader on the end of your braid?
I had a quick go with the new waterproof and sealed Van Staal VR50 spinning reel - how much sense does it make for our lure fishing?
A quick update and a few photos from out here in Ireland
Massively overexcited because I am off to Ireland tomorrow - yippee!
