        On a boat with the proper gear. you can get right on top of the HUGE schools and catch 100-200 of these. No joke. Up to 30” the schoolies are

        Maybe so. Maybe not

              Too many baits but no fish? Have you tried Gosport harbour? There are even fish in Venice Channels due to less boat travel there with Corona

                    We're not allowed to fish in the UK atm.  Which is a pisser as there is some good bass fishing 5 mins walk from here, and the Bass should be inshore now…..

                      The problem is you need a bigger room for lures

                        That's what I keep telling Paula, she won't listen.  So, I put this outside the room this morning…..(I don't think she's seen it yet)......That'll hold a few rods  😉 😉

                                You converted all your plugs and poppers to single inline hook? That’s the best. Lose less fish that way.

                                  Some of my bass lures are rigged with in-line singles (I mainly fish with singles in the Tropics), but some are still rigged with trebles or a single and a treble....

                                    I’m converting my poppers, darters and jigs to
                                    Single hooks. Can use a bigger sharper hook than on a treble.

                                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                                      You could always use a mechanics chest to store your lures.  Just an idea.

                                            For big hooks, I always use BKK.  They are the strongest that I know of, apart from a super rare Japanese artisan maker…
