Watching Coast on BBC2 and Oh my god! The bass ground there looks stunning. Loads of shallow reefs and incredible tide rips. Do we have any IOM members on here. Do they even fish for the bass over there? It would appear the bollox - mouth watering and dreaming of warmer fishier times....

Coast is the best thing that the bbc do,I think its actually the Open University that make it.
The bbc has been banned in my house but I do still watch this series

Griff,

Coast is by far the best factual programme on telly, during the last series they covered the north coast of france and the channel Islands, fishing looks good there as well :jump:

Nigel (Bagpuss) is from the I.O.M, and I have a few customers that buy a few lures from time to time, they say it can be awesome up there when its happening.

Bagpuss, I was watching the show real-time last night but I'll look for an iPlayer link for you. There did look to be some stunning ground and I guess very little angling pressure? Noce fish from your mate btw - looks lovely...

This law which came in to effect in 2005 has helped our bass fishing. Bass were a by catch for the salmon & sea trout netters, now that is banned
