Bass Fishing

I am asking for your help, which is the best bass spinning rod currently on the market. I am asked this question a lot and only having owned 3 in my time I would like your opinion as too which spinning rod you consider most suited to Bass fishing and why. Looking at the hits [...]

I was hpoing over the past few days to go Kayak fishing for Mullet if the wind was strong or Bass fishing if the wind and sea was good. Sadly not only did we have strong winds and a short swell running we also had high rivers and the kayak Mullet fishing was a no [...]

Recently I was writing about reconnaissance, ie checking marks out and looking for tell tale signs of where fish might be from reading the shoreline. Today I went to a local surf beach for a session on my surf board only to discover exactly what I had been talking about. I decided not to go [...]

Further to my post about bubble floats I have remember reading in “Hooked on Bass”(a must read for Bass fishermen) about their Jif lemon rig. This used an empty jif lemon bottle filled with wax to act as a float to cast red gill and sand eel huge distances and still surface fish. I myself [...]

Trolling for Bass can be practiced throughout the UK Bass fishing season, but a change in method may be required to keep continued success.
