Amazing that the codling are still around.
Last week in an attempt to get a bass before the ban I fished a few different marks but all I could catch were codling and dogfish. The water still felt very chilled so not surprising the bass have been so scarce so far this year.
"the smallest baits you have ever sent out" - so more like a normal size bait for the rest of us then.

might even attempt a 3 hook flapper soon. surely the hoards of cod are munching up what the bass should be eating....down with cod
