Winter these guys have been doing this for 40years and said this is the first time they have seen as many bass on one line ,did some longlining 20years ago myself and never saw anything like this.

We never found any, not that we tried that hard, had plenty of cod to go for. things can change in 10 years.

Hi peter taking to your mate mr purves last night he had had a few sherberts ,

yes things do look like they are changing something is happening trawlers have had quite a lot of bass this winter but i have still to catch one from the boat ,thought i might click one on a shad but they have been evading it but you never know things might change i will probably click one tommorow.

Things don't change on that front then, at least he knows one end of a rod from t'other.

Hi big cod, things our changing more rapidly then we care think about, so i would suggest you get a livebait tank sorted on your boat if you hav'nt one already? do you do much live baiting with mackerel and such in the summer???????

How deep are you fishing? You won't normally get bass in more than 100ft of water, and much less than that if it's cloudy.

The shallowest i fish when wrecking is say 100ft tryed winding nearly up to the surface with jellys but havent clicked a bass yet,had plenty of cod and pollock even had catfish on the shad, but as having a live bait tank with live sandeels would be deadly for cod and bass and all most anything what swims but ther problem is getting the sandeels.

Wonder if Binatones m8 Mr Straw gets any bass. He fishes RHB and Ravenscaar areas. Ive been told a few times that this is the area for bass.

 

There were reports of bass being caught off the west pier last summer during the macky season. I wonder if they were bass or those king herring, Think they are called shad.

Winter a netter 2 years ago was fishing for bass in sandsend corner nearly on the shotstones and his best day was 2 boxes i think sandsend is as good as anywhere or UPGANGE.

Think framies stones might be a good shot.

 

Shotstones? Who would be netting there Paul.
