A wet suit. Set of fins. Mask and snorkel. Weight belt and a couple of weights. Spear-gun. and............................. Yum Yum, Bass for tea. Me and Phil enjoying the the fruits of my labour. While we're away in the caravan and close to the beach, I always get out a few times spear fishing. Only take what we can eat. A brace of Bass, a nice Mullet or maybe a couple of Pollock. Straight out of the sea and onto the BBQ. I have seen shoals of Bass 200+ strong, and followed them for hours, watching them chase sand-eels, fantastic. Like I say, we only take what we want/need.

Unfortunately some of the cheaper rings and guides do suffer this problem quite frequently. Make sure that you press the ring in squarely and the ring frame is adequately supported - resting the ring on a bench with the rod vertical. Try pressing the insert in with a piece of suitable diameter tubing. If the frame is in anyway out of true then it's a tricky job and bear in mind that the centres are very brittle. Best regards and good luck, Bob

The first (keepable) bass I catch this year is going to be filleted, cut in strips and then marinated in citrus juice ATB Mike

Stevo, Well did think of donning the scuba gear but I don't own my own tank and regulator, and you know I am only a warm water diver! Is that your mate in the picture the guy I met up at the Wye fish-in a couple of years ago - the paramedic? Mike I like sushi that has given me food for thought! Can't get hold of a Dexter as yet, seem very popular. Bob Thanks but the new section turned up and have decided to cut the rings off the naff section just to see what lies under the shiny exterior. Thumb brusiing only just healing and I felt the cheapness did not warrant the effort. jw - great tip as usual I have some catfish kevlar that should do the trick. I also found some ready tied rigs which at £2.00 will allow me to dabble cheaply. Cheers guys Chris

Hi Chris, no, the paramedic is Lee, one of my fishing buddies from Bridgnorth. The guy in the photo is Phil, my caravan buddy......... Try just going out snorkeling.

I've just ordered some dexter wedges to use with an old 2lb TC barbel rod with a F/S reel loaded with braid (will also have a small selection of old pike plugs and tobeys). I plan to fish near bigbury on sea, which looking at google maps seems to have a few good areas to try ? It will be my first attempt at bass fishing so has anyone got any advise ? I think im fairly clued up on what to do in terms of fishing a rising tide, likewise fish into dark if possible, or early morning etc..., but is there anything else I should be aware of to give me a good chance of catching? any tips much appreciated ! (may even have a crack at the mullet on float fished bread if I get time ! I know they're notoriously hard but I'd love to catch one !!! ) ATB Lee True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to That I'll always run to Won't you join me by the riverbank (Paul Weller) Last Edited By: M0u5e 29/05/08 01:51.

The frozen ammo eels work, live ones are better, if you can get them. peter

I nearly got blown away and drowned out what with the bank holiday weather. Managed a two hour session on the Sunday, and had no luck with lures, but I managed to get some frozen sand eels which I head hooked, and had two bites on differnt occassions and wound in to find I had two chunks taken out of the middle of two baits. That night I made up a two hook rig (Pennel?). Unfortuantely the weather was so bad on the Monday, I didn't fish. Oh well experience gained and will try again when I am next able. £12.50 cheapie carp rod did itself proud. Mouse I stayed at Bigbury 2-3 years ago with the family. When the tide went out there were huge expanses of sand, with the odd rocky outcrop, may be worth having a look and trying to hit them at high tide. Also the island has some rocks to target which again can be seen a low tide. Chris

Whip them to the hook and snood with bait elastic and then snip off the head. Gets more scent into the water that way and bites are usually solidly hooked1 I would like to live in Manchester, England.
