eish ops and recovery time not the best... i know a few people who have had knee ops they weren't out of action for too long


i have 3 bass rods and tackle so i think i am going to bring 2 of them
but the light spinning stuff you have should be fine..

lures it just depends on the colours and size you have.. im sure one or two of your surf rapala's will work

soft plastics, from experience, work wonders

earthworms and a float can land you Bass aswell so thats also an option but i wouldnt go there just with earthworms

however from myside looks like Mias is needed, all my rapala's are very well used and im short line

Guys,
My best mate, Rushay would like to join us if he can.

Mike, (isisvuba) if you've got space I'd really appreciate giving him a lift...(I'd prob join on your boat)

He's not a fisherman, so fishing space not compromised, just wants to tag along

Willing to be gillie/barman/ etc...


Will this be fine ?

Guys the bassing on artificials is very good there, so is the artlure for carp and barbel.
For carp nothing more than a nice sweet white dough, not too much scent....Tutti frutti is best in that dam.
