This pic goes back to 1990 20 years ago this year,,,even in them days i was nailing a few bass on lures ,,i remember this day very well,,the night before the maccie were in nailing eels and sardine against the shore all we could get was the maccie around 200 if i recall it was mayhem,,we decided to come back at first light and low and behold no eels and no sardine they had slipped away in the night with many dead left on the shore,,, so i slipped on my mother of a lure ,,the best in its day the yo,zuri crystal minnow,,orange,,this was the lure of the day and to be fair is still around today and fishing well,,,and theres no kidding with that picture above the proof is in the pudding
a 4lb Bass from North Wales
Hey Up!!! we are in at 4.00 o'clock in the morning in October 1986 that is 24years ago this year my brother alan took this picture of my first big bass on a lure ,,

I will remember that morning till the day I die with Alan nailing a 5 and a 6 lber in quick succsession on a lure that I just can'not remember for all my life ,,,for all you guys out there that are thinking of having a go at lure fishing ,,i am still at it after all these years ,these pics are from 25 years ago great times and fantastic memories

My first big fella on a lure , around 8 and 9 lb's , don't you just love the greys waders and all the designer gear , HaHa !! But seriously what a morning on the BASS ....On Lure's.


Get the gear and the hair cut ,,,where are the Maui Jims!!!!!
another fine Bass nailed on a lure from the 80's , Wham Bam !!!

Kilty Catcher's were the only Lure's in those day's. Here is a fine Bass, in the picture above, caught on Trevor Beach in North Wales in the Mid 80's.

Love it Gee, can see you singing along to George on your Walkman whilst fishing. Some great bass there, I knew you'd been lure fishing for a long time but that clearly shows how much experience you have.
