Client Catches – Moonlight, bites and bass!

A leap of faith – But was it the light levels, the turn of the tide or both that made the difference?

Client Catches – Wet and wild bassing!

10 (small) bass for my 2 clients on a multitude of lures, from locations they’d never considered fishing before.

Client Catches – New PB taken on a surface lure

PBs broken, in addition to expensive rods! A good old laugh out on the shoreline.

Client Catches – Fly fisherman converted!

Something very different to the local reservoir! Five lure caught bass in one session.

Client Catches -Warming up nicely!

A few lost, but a bit of lateral thinking saves the day for a client who had travelled a long way.

Bass Lures – Is there an optimum size and shape?

Are there advantages to uisng smaller lures? Will bass hit them with more vigour?
