i went pluggin for a few hours tonight to my local mark.conditions were superb & water was gin clear.didn`t catch but to be honest it was just nice gettin out of the house(and from the computer ,buying lures!!)having being lure fishing properly for 12 months i have never caught a fish off the surface.every time i tried , i had no confidence & switched back to a shallow lure .but after trying my new z-claw tonight i know its going to get me fish:wackit2: it just looked quality in the water.ive also bought a couple of tide minnows & a k-ten.all looked superb and will give me different options to the jts i mostly used last year.i reckon another week o`r so & they`re be in!!:-D

hi billy,waters lookin nice around the north wales coast at the moment.....not long now mate.do you have a t,shad chug bug in your surface collection bil or yo zuri green mack popper?cheers daz

 

[billy]

hi darren,yes i have both lures in those colours :-D. the chug bug in both sizes & the mag popper in the smaller size.both still unopened!

 

[Darren Edwards]

open them billy cos it will lose your surface cherry lol

 

[trev]

just open those boxes that Daz said, chug bug and mag popper will catch any bass in north wales ..off the top...( if they are around the area you are fishing,..... when you are there).............thats the hard part.........also we are just about coming up to the right water temps on the west anglesey coast so keep at it and it wont be long at all .......would try rhosneigr/cymyran/llanddwyn island or dinas dinlle areas now for best chance

if your not havin follows on the big bug bil then switch to smaller size.if that doesnt work switch to mag or patchinko.i find small chugs work better when fish are shoaling and large size when fish need wakin up .ditch the xmas tree on the back treble and gain a few yards.also check bugs for bouyancy as some copies fill and go arse down...bin em.i also say that with the zuri popper....arse down bin em.good luck and tight lines bud.
