Saintly Fish Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Nice pics as always. However, a bit of a write up wouldn't go amiss!! 🤷🏻♂️ jetty jumper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I like the look of that last fish, very spectacular. The image that looks like a night shot or possibly edited that way is a good sized bass, was that a glow soft plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy is an incredible fisherman. He is one of those guys that will research every spices in detail before he goes out. I guess it must work for him. He is also a spear fisherman.

Spearfishing gives you incredible insight to not only underwater hunting but also rod and reel fishing. jetty jumper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine it's a bit hard to cast though, what with all that resistance! Geoff, jetty jumper and JDP 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A place called warden ledge on the IOW (solent) was once one of my favourite bass locations. I could snorkel out, find the fish and take a rod with me. Once I found a patch with bass I would roll onto my back and flick lures at them. Once a fish was hooked I would swim all the way back to shore on my back towing the fish behind!!!!!....used to get some funny looks from people walking the sea wall. Also fished that same spot using a longboard. As you would imagine my reels copped a flogging. The things you do as a kid when you are so keen, I see it now with my own kids. jetty jumper and mike farrants 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of when I used to strap sea turtles to my feet to help me chase narwhals with my spear gun along Southend sea front.

Is that why you a breeding them again. I wouldn't stand on those hatchlings until you drop a few kg's. Not saying you're fat but I'm also not saying your not💋 Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longboard yeah. 100% true on both accounts, though more was done on the longboard. Without the board I would sometimes get the small boats from Colwell bay keep coming over thinking I was in trouble. Also did that style of fishing with another young fella who still lives on the IOW but doesn't really fish anymore, think he was more into the unusual ways to fish than normal stuff. That was before I discovered a decent speargun was easier. Spearguns available in the UK back then were very poor. I did try it here in a river with very strong current, which I soon gave up on after catching a few bream. Much easier to spear them.
