Hello everyone thought I'd better post something, I don't want to be known as a lurker. Dom Sheppard kindly took me out Thursday night to one of his bass marks. Being an avid fly fisherman I thought I'd have a quick go on the fly rod before I tried one of Doms X-layers.
Anyway to my delight after about 30mins just as the light was going I caught a lovely little bass, he'd probably struggle to make a 1lb but what a great fight on a fly rod, shortly after this Dom hooked up with a better bass on one of his x-layers ( both fish went back ok ) I'm now completely hooked on fly fishing for bass and have just ordered a load of stuff to make some bass flies. Does anyone have any patterns that work well around the pembrokeshire coast?
Here's a couple of pics from the night the blood on Doms bass isn't from the fish it's from Doms finger. Were one of the gill spines had him. 1-0 to the Bass.
Cheers Paul
