2 sailings today, and of some contrast. Both with a full four rods aboard. 1st sailing, 16 bass landed. A mix of sizes but 6 killed for the table. And then 2nd sailing, a current common theme, just 2 bass landed, although both were for the table, from four rods aboard. Quite looking forward to some....

just the one sailing today, with a SW wind coming to mess things up for the rest of it. With me, regulars David and Sam, and new to BIF1, Adam and his 10 year old lad HarryEach sailing now gets better, as I get a better feel for the latest shock, the spider peelers hardly peeling. This really has ch...

A quick chat on my WhatsApp groups confirmed that the spider moult has either stalled or finished. I'm in two minds about this. Although the moult undoubtedly had the bigger basses undivided attention, making the lure fishing from the much tougher, whe. the winds swung onshore it made for some of th...

Happy days may be here again... For some time I have been very aware of big bronzes bass being in tight, with both sonar and visual observations by myself and others. But all the while the spiders were changing their clothes by the many tens of thousands, that's all they were interested in. But now,...

Finally at sea after far too long shorebound due to very strong North easterly winds. I had a great feeling about where to fish for the table fish, although from my 3 guys aboard,.only John wanted to take for the table, and with a large family BBQ at the weekend, and the others not taking, I relaxed...

An interesting day It started with a very strong Northerly wind that was not forecast, that kept us pinned in tight. Fishes were amassing, according to the sounder and according to the numerous follows from whole school's of. very small bass. But actual takes? Just 2 bass landed, just one for the ta...

A very weather affected day. The 0400 alarm sounded, and was accompanied by a flashing light. Except, I don't own an alarm with a flashing light... Instead it was a real lot of lightning. Checking on the rain radar, it was clear 1st sailing would not be happening. Lightning is strangely not consider...

JP and Billy returning, Lee and his lad Ralph new to BIF1, and off out to yet more dreamy flat seas. And immediately (and as it turned out thankfully) into a flock of seagulls. Not the rock group that came from Canvey Island, but the real deal. Feathers and everything. Why are they important? Well,....
