Bass are great, but we’ve used this glorious weather/trickier bass conditions to also do some awesome pollack fishing out here
First group has left, second group arrives this afternoon, I didn’t quite appreciate how much I have missed all this
Amazing first day and a bit of guiding with our first group, damn it feels so good to be back out here and I get to call this work!
At last, driving to Ireland for co-guiding work, apologies to our clients in advance because I’m very excited! Anybody up for one of our trips in early November?
Bumping lures along the bottom in a fast current - is there a more exciting hit and scrap in bass fishing?
I’m no reel technician, but the first thing I do when my reel suddenly sounds “raspy” is oil or grease the line roller
We have to go and find our fish, and I would suggest that making a call which then produces fish is one of the biggest thrills in fishing
A night fishing session on Friday threw up a bunch of questions
You can only use one colour of lure (hard, soft, surface, metal etc.) for all your bass fishing for evermore - what's it going to be?
Let's talk about “paperclip” style lure clips because I am hearing about some anglers having issues with (my favourite) Breakaway Mini Link
In my mind it’s a side wind that kills “feel” the most (slightly nerdy Monday morning?)
What could I have done to connect with a few more of the (somewhat finicky) hits the other day?
Regular diving hard lures continue to fascinate me, but I find myself using them less and less
Brand new video up on my YouTube channel - lure fishing for wrasse in the magical Isles of Scilly
I’ve found some much cheaper and really good alternatives to the Under Armour “tights” that I always wear under my waders
Sorry for no blog posts last week, I was having a magical week in the Isles of Scilly with my family
I have finally found a way to carry a landing net for some of my bass fishing which doesn’t annoy me at all
Henry, what the hell is this s£&t? 30+ years ago and I can still remember it like it was yesterday…….
Fishing is meant to be such a relaxing thing to do, but do you ever come home with steam coming out of your ears? (ABITSIWALD)
If you want technical appraisals and tear-downs then this is not the place - my reviews are personal opinions based on actually fishing with the gear
