looks better here :)

suppose its worth mentioning that almost all bass i get on the above trace are lipped hooked, quite a few on the top hook!. which makes it very easy to unhook/release. i think what also helps to "liphook" is to let out some slackline (6ft.) after casting and allowing the fish to hook themselve. you shoud still see all bites, leave it till u think the fish is hooked/moving off with the bait, then smartly reel down then when you feel pressure stop, lift the rod both down wind and tide (if practical) until you feel the fish :P ., you are now in control :)

Well done Art, will be over next week & can only hope the fish will still be around & that you have emptied all of them from the sea !

hi jon, were abouts are you heading to (waterford :) )

Cortaz,
