Weather: Perfectly Calm - Light mist on the surface

Bait:

Rigs: Yo-Zuri Banana Boats, Crystal Minnows and Mag Popper. Flying C

Not Sure about the North Livid, but conservation is the only way. Bass tend to spawn around the ban time and it is an effort to help replenish the stocks.
Not that the netters care though :twisted:

Yeah, i was just curious more than anything, if i was EVER lucky enough to catch one, my priority would be to return it alive [after a photo opportunity, obviously. Regardless of the size, dunno what they taste like, if i ever want to taste it then i have ample opportunity to buy a fillet in my local Tesco]
