great white Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 One the bigger tides this weekend , I thought that I may have a look for some Bass. Not something we do a lot of so maybe its time that we tried a little harder. Any advice prior to the trip would be greatly appreciated. Ben is joining me but the boys are not available. That means I have room for two if anyone fancy's a go. You know the drill, get in touch. It will not be a really long day as I need to be home by 1730 Charlie Quote
Wedger Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Going Sunday but slight chance of a start on Sat too. Reefs or banks?? Quote
Rob Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 I would start with livies on floats on a ledge near to home! Even pop round to st albans, if the well is not to large - perhaps portland rig and give the SW banks a go on the way round. Let us know how you get on!? Quote
Graham Nash Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 I see some pretty impressive ones being dragged up on my "ray mark" charlie. You know where it is. Graham Quote
great white Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks Guys will have to remember the large floats We may start there to get some bait Graham Then push on and out a bit more. Charlie Quote
Gas Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Charlie. May be out Sat or Sun if out may wish to tag along just to see how it should be done? Quote
Adam F Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Jv and wight majic are heading east. Join the flotilla if you like? Edited August 16, 2012 by Adam F Quote
niggle Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Hope to be about Sat after work,then Sunday.......I'll keep my eye out for poachers heading east Nige Quote
Oli Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 You've all got me questioning myself now because I just know I'm going to go 30 miles and have a hard time in the tides on the wrecks and then hear stories of triple hookups of double figure bass! Decisions decisions. If we hadn't had such trouble finding bass last time it would be an easy one... Quote
niggle Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Oli i never find it easy to find the bass as it is a waiting game and I get bored but with the hours come the rewards and they can come in a very small window......or not.When we have the likes of Rob(theforceisstrong) and AJ etc they make it sound easy Nige Quote
Oli Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Haha I've heard that Rob doesn't even need to leave his house these days - the bass come to him - certainly saves on fuel! Only one thing for it then, the well guarded mid channel bass banks to give me both options. Don't suppose anyone knows exactly where these might be and is willing help a friend in (desperate!) need pleeeease? Quote
great white Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 Charlie. May be out Sat or Sun if out may wish to tag along just to see how it should be done? Have room for two onboard, if you want to join us on Sat Craig Not that used to bassing, but going to give it a go Charlie Quote
Oli Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Charlie if you're over banks I favour a Portland rig with about an 8 foot trace to a pearl or blue sidewinder or live joey. If you decide to head to the south IOW banks give me a shout. Cheers Oli Quote

Rob Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 IOW banks a good choice as you can go with the tide then return with a push too! Rob Quote
great white Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 IOW banks a good choice as you can go with the tide then return with a push too! Rob May have to anchor at slack to look for big Rays Charlie Quote

islander99 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Hi All Is anyone prepared to give me any numbers for the south iow banks that you refer to. Not expecting any personal hotspots , but just the general area would be very handy. Thanks an Lot Mike F Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 There was some nice turbot on the IOW banks last spring tide on slack. I,ll be out there tomorrow, they have been fishing better on the EBB lately! Good luck. Quote

niggle Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 I went to give them a drift last weekend but when we got close a gravel ship was working the banks so gave it a miss Nige Quote
