Over the past few days i have been thinking about the year pending (2013).
2012 has been amazing and i have caught plenty more fish included smashing my personal best bass by 3 times with a 10lb 4oz monster. Also including a bass of around 7 or 8lb mark which done great things for my confidence with a rod.
Around this area the big bass fishing is quite exciting as its really the fish we are blessed with. Other fish are dogfish, small whiting and codling. The flounder fishing especially in the Conwy river can be very good. although flounder fishing doesn't really excite me... so what does???
Ive decided that every time i go fishing from now on i will only concentrate on fishing for big bass. In winter we do not get much Cod of any size and the odd bass will still be scouring the area. This means that from now through next year also this will be my strategy. I enjoy bait fishing more than lure fishing, its just the way i am i suppose.
My strategy is to go as much as i can, when the weather looks good enough. I will be hitting the areas that big bass maybe lurking. Big baits will be used to tempt the silver armoured predators of the sea. Double/Triple crab baits, whole squid baits, big launces and small mackerel/mackerel flapper baits will be the flavour to lure in the bass.
Every minute of the fishing will have full concentration with
No slacking.
Hopefully the dedication and clear focus on concentrating on solely on double figure fish will help me achieve more than last year. It would be great to pull out some more surprises, but as always all fish will be returned.
Lets hope we can improve on this years biggest bass.
Thanks for reading..
All the bes and hopefully more to come!
