Gower Bass Season starts with a bang!

Some local boats are reporting bass off the gower coast, we had a particularly good session last weekend witha a total of 34 fish being brought aboard in a 5 hour session. Only four were kept the largest or which was just over 5lb. The average size of the bass was 1-2lb.

All fell to live sandeel. The first pound of live eels of the season - maybe they were lucky? Infact we only stopped catching when we ran out of eels, it was one fish one eel! Almost every drift we had fish and it didnt really stop at any state of the tide.

Not many bass days like that to be had, but local knowledge of the marks seems to be the key, as many anglers we talked to on our return seemed to be returning empty handed!
