While checking Facebook we ran into these slippery looking beauties from Savage Gear. As most of us know; Bass are crazy for eels and eel-likes -so these definately will be a hit, at least for catching some of us anglers ;-)… The message says that the eels will be released in Paris at the EFFTEX 2012 next week. So we still have to wait quite some time to give them a solid testdrive… Lets hope they work as good as they look.
With the legendary Z-Claw lure in the portfolio, the Gan Craft brand presents a new top water lure for this summer; the slightly bigger Gan Craft ‘S-Caper’. With 30 grams of weight and 140 mm in length it is a big lure with dito impact. Check out the nice lure action in the video!
It is the end of the afternoon when I arrive at Bass Hengelsport in Colijnsplaat. Actually I’m not in need for some tackle or gear, but I’m a little too early for the right tide. And of course, it never hurts to have a little talk and share some good stories. After several cups of coffee and some extra information I decide to say goodbye to do what I came for - hunt for some bass.
Sometimes a title says it all. It’s a worrying, but very recognizable, quote from one of the interviewed fishermen in this amazing video. It gives you a look inside the minds of some hardcore Striper fishermen from Montauk, USA. Only fishermen can understand what their saying, others will say they’re mad as hell…
Our passion is not only about catching bass, it’s the complete package. It’s about the (day)dreaming, the people, enjoying nature, and ofcourse, a lot of imagining how our respected opponent lives its live underneath the surface. Click here (or the image) to check out this beautiful short movie by Olivier Brosselin takes you with him, straight into the ocean on his journey for his first footage of 2012. Not a movie about catching fish, but about the beauty of our beloved Atlantic (and ofcourse a couple of bass around 2 minutes, and just after 3 minutes ;-)). Enjoy!
Catching your first bass of the new season is always something special. This year was very special for me as I had the opportunity to catch it in Ireland. Despite it really was the first bass of season for me, it still felt a bit like cheating.
When fishing the National Park Oosterschelde keep in mind the bass loves to hunt on shallow grounds. This because the oysterbeds and rocks attract lots of baitfish, crabs, etc. And as always - find the food to find the bass. With a local (NL) difference from 2 till 3 meters between both tides, you can find many interesting marks around different tides.
As you may have read between the lines while visiting our website; we love the Irish. That immediately is one of the main reasons (the other one is Ireland’s great bass fishing opportunities) why we decided to book another trip in September next to the one we’ve booked this July (the Irish Bass Festival).
Bass comes in many varieties. Dicentrarchus labrax is part of a much larger family of bass type fish species: the Perciformes or Perch-likes. This order consists of 156 families, most of them marine fish who live in coastal areas. ‘Our’ bass is part of the Moronidae family. These fish are also known as the so-called temperate basses.
Again, the guys from the France Ultimate Fishing crew deliver an outstanding trailer for what looks like a great 90 minute experience. The Ultimate Fishing brand proves to have high standards as it comes to quality in bass fishing. If they keep on going like this, we keep believing…
Since a few years now I am the proud owner of a Tenryu Red Dragon Express fishing rod. The Red Dragon is manufactured and assembled in Japan according to the specifications of the most experienced French Bass Anglers. They ( - Ultimate Fishing -) now have manufactured several models to hunt any kind of predatory fish around the world. The commercial trademark of all of these rods is they’re airbrushed in an almost Ferrari like red colour.
2011 was the year my father and I decided to restore an old tradition - we’d go for a week of (pike) fishing in Ireland. This winter we definately decided - on an angling expo - to travel to Ireland in april 2012 - at this time all the Dutch freshwater will be closed (1st of April till the last saturday of May) for predator fishing.
It’s a fact that not all the interesting bass fishing goodies come from our own European shores. The Americans also have lots of experience fishing and wading for their famous stripers. This time we ran into the - American made - Rockhopper Belt Clip. A safe and easy to use belt clip for your wader belt carrying Bogagrip or pliers.
Yet another bass fishing movie trailer! This time the renowned bass fishing expert Austen Goldsmith takes you fly fishing for our beloved silver warriors… The shots look very promising and we’ll be watching out for the full movie.
It’s about an hour before sunset on a beautiful Summer evening, the wind fell away entirely and the crystal clear water of the Dutch Oosterschelde looks as flat as a mirror. The silence is overwhelming, just the sound of some birds in the distance and the gently flowing water can be heard.
