One from today, before storm Austen comes in for a shake-up. A proper unit of a fish that went an easy 71cm on the measure mat.
Very happy with that one! The 3rd 70+ of my ‘26 season.

Taken on a 4” One’up Shad in Army colourway, paired to a 5gm 1/0 Duo BayRuf BR jighead.

Another 70+ put through the 3-19gm Daiwa UK Labrax. I think that lightest model has done 6 over 70+ for me now and I love it!

I was honoured to be invited back to do another episode on The Lurefishing Podcast.

I couldn’t believe that my first episode with Cormac was over 3 years ago. I remember having a moment and actually asked him to not air it..
He convinced me otherwise, I’m so glad he did.

Here’s another one 3 years later and I quite like it.
It was lovely to catch up again to discuss how this year’s been, some tactics, some indepth chat about finesse creature bait tactics and the environments we fish them, a bit of topwater (of course😉), fishery health and resident fish, and really just all things bass…

Take a listen, I hope you enjoy

One from yesterday

I loved that Nick had no idea this type of fishing for bass was even possible.
Being a keen hunter this style of spotting, stalking and precise angling really ticked all the boxes for him.

We also got very close to 2 more fishing in this manner -1 going nose on to it and carefully worked us out, the other unfortunately had the bait but we didn’t pin it on the eat. Both looked around 55-60cm. That happens to the very best of us at times, and still makes for very exciting fishing.

Caught using the Daiwa UK Labrax 3-19gm model. The perfect tool for the job 👌

Windy, wet and fairly wild conditions at some of the marks today.

Well worth getting out there however and I’m always grateful to have such great clients that want to fish hard. I don’t think either of noticed the wind and rain most of the day.

Fish caught on soft plastics and topwater, at a very varied mix of venues.
We even managed a decent amount of sight fishing on creatures and had 2 go head down and nose on it, only to refuse our offering (the hunt for the perfect creature bait continues).

Here’s 2 very well conditioned ones, both 50cm, from a very bassy coastal zone.

The harbour felt earily quiet today so I took my clients to my local beach for the second half of the day. There’s a really good mark there if you know when and where you need to be.

10 fish in total on a mix of soft plastic profiles and weights, including some topwater action.

The 4” ‘1-up Shad’ continues to account for some great catches when the going is tougher.

With Pike season pretty much upon us, here’s my best from last year that I didn’t post.

Since getting back from New Zealand I’ve always had this winter bolt hole and incredible wild river where my Mom and Stepdad lived in Wales.
Always welcome through their door, I kept my little slice of paradise quiet, guiding on it only 4 times.
I need something for myself after each busy bass season ends and this river ticked all the boxes. Stories of 30’s through the ages and potential and hurdles round every bend. Hard earned fish are the best ones 🤘

Unfortunately the house has now been sold and they’re moving to Polperro in Cornwall, watch out Cornish bass 😉!!!

The yearly extended trips to chase Snakehead and visit my Dad in Thailand (he’s lived there for nearly 25yrs) will fill a gap but I sure will miss this true home away from home.

I’m hoping to get one last big hit on this special river that I know so well.

As the temps drop the fishing hots up 🔥

The biggest 3 were all over 50cm for returning angler Ian. Biggest going 56cm taken on topwater, the Xorus Z-Claw being the lure to do the damage.
The next 2 months should provide some incredible action as these fish move their interests almost exclusively to fry.
The ones today were coughing up baby bass, it’s a ruthless world out there if you’re small. Get big or get eaten!

Chunky 64cm one on topwater today as the pressure drops.
I was meant to be guiding the first day this season on the river for Pike but it had to be postponed until water temps drop a bit more. At least it meant there was time to get out and cast 😁

Only 1 big follow from behind after about an hour of working the whole area, and no interest afterwards. 1 bite and done but thankfully it was one hell of a bite and it stuck!

The Megabass Giant Dog-X is my favourite lure to just keep going, and slightly speed up, on these weary fish. Allowing those big torpedo follows to sit in behind it until they’re happy to commit. It’s impossible to resist and they always close the gap 💥

The Daiwa Labrax 8’8” 3-19gm is my weapon of choice and swims this type of lure profile really well.
