Give me the wind in my face all day long, it’s a strong crosswind I find the trickiest to deal with (green water and bass, result!)
I need to let my lures spend more time washing around close in (and the light went absolutely loopy!)
Shameless plug - I watched my brother’s new film “Summit Fever” last night. Wow!
Rod tip up and slow right down with certain hard lures - do you fish like this at all?
Welcome to my head - surf’s pumping, bass are feeding, but the light is going off as well. What do I do? Help!
Heavy surf conditions, full of bass, amazing how easily they find lures, can colour possibly make a difference?
Savage Gear SGS2 8’3’’ 20-60g lure rod review - around £90 (I am ignoring the ratings, feels like a 10-40g rod for my shore fishing)
Would you use a sinking surface lure? (Because surely a surface lure needs to float. Or does it?)
I really look forward to this time of year for bass fishing, even if my first session back home was a big fat blank!
Back home, knackered!, itching to go fishing
Last day guiding, heading back home tomorrow, this Slender Scoop Shad lure continues to grow on me - and our anglers
Interesting bit of weather for our third group’s first day with us
Some good fishing, some tough fishing, that is always going to be bass fishing is it not?
Such fun with our first group, it’s always so interesting what you continue to learn when anglers are fishing together
Some photos from our first day’s fishing out here
Out here in Ireland, our first group arrives later today
My thoughts on the new Penn Authority 3500 and 2500 spinning reels after fishing with them for a while (in the UK now, not cheap!), off to Ireland tomorrow
I tend to fancy it when I get down to my fishing spot and it smells of fish - like this morning
I don’t go out bass fishing without some kind of simple metal lure to reach fish if they are feeding at range. Sometimes it pays off……
With braid, how do you decide what breaking strain, diameter or PE# to go for? (I ask because I had an interesting chat with an industry insider)
