      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…..

              When you know you have a problem…

              The problem is you need a bigger room for lures

              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
              Well, I have others.

                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  😉 😉

                      What type of bass?

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

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

                          Proper Bass…..

                          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.

                              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…

                                      @Matty123 just remember that Largemouth bass is the king in the U.S. and the most sought after record fish. In Minnesota walleye is the most famous, but bass is still my favorite.

                                      22" and around 6lb (no scale). I know this isn't your giant ocean fish, but these are great fighters on the right equipment.

                                      till my favorite.
