It's a shame Rob that Bass are so rare now!!
Well done to you both.
I have got the Lure bug now, and I have sent a letter to Santa for a nice Bass rod and a selection of lures for Xmas.
I do hope he realises that I've been a good boy!!
The thing I like about Lure fishing is that there is no mess of bait on board, and the anticipation of the real screaming off with a decent fish on the end of your line.
Once you know where the hot spots are for Bass and you have done your homework on your selection of Lure, then you are certain to catch a decent fish.
