Bream. Ballan. Bass. Yep, it's all the B's and even a mention for actual Bees. When we stumble upon a theme we stick to it! We have learned that water temp tell us lies and clarity at the surface also tells us lies. Old Lady Sea just keeps leading us on and yet we keep going back for more. Enthusiasm to make a lure session work has often been our undoing because although we are ready the fish will...

Welcome aboard again. Dan & Ad here back in your ears with some fresh fishy talk.

We're back by popular demand! Apologies for not gracing your listening devices sooner but we do have other stuff to do, you know. A decade ago we were lucky enough to fish the old B.L.A.C finals at Chew and whilst it was a steep learning curve we caught a few fish and even got on the podium. With a huge head of Pike and some immense Perch its a water that is held dear to many a UK predator angler....

Ladies and Gentlemen, we reveal a lure that has not only accounted for lots of 40cm plus Perch but has also created memories that will last a lifetime.
