After many years of trying ive finally caught a February Bass, having had some sucsess through January it only seemed right to keep going ! As ever i narrowed down my efforts to small areas that have produced fish for me in the past and kept it simple fishing one shad the baitbreath tt shad 4 inch  combined with the trusty ecogear iwashi jighead in 14 grams, the only thing i varied was the colour of shad to suit the clarity of water. It was a case of me doing some homework in relation to the colours used, you can never stop learning…

So what ever the weather chucked at me i was there, hard frosts, scraping the ice of the windscreen, hailstorms, sleet, howling winds whatever, if there was a chance of some silver it would surely warm me up on the inside.

Sometimes it just felt like going through the motions casting to areas and slow retreive, then again, then again, always content and at one to just be fishing, then a good pull and fish on !, comming as some kind of suprize. The water is around 8 to 9 degrees, it will be interesting to see what March will offer, watch this space as i aint stopping now !!….
