This year it looks like I will be missing my annual trip to Jersey due to other commitments, so I thought I would give this wonderful place a quick mention.
Jersey has top notch bass fishing & everything it takes to keep a family happy while you are out on the rocks, and is easy to reach from the UK (direct flights from mainland Europe are few and far between, but can be well worth the effort).
Beautiful beaches.
Fantastic scenery.
With the fishing being spectacular at times, there are some great fishermen on the Channel Islands - the locals are easy going & willing to help you catch "that bass".
Bass heaven!
A must for a visiting angler is a trip to Mr Fish, an excellent fishing shop based in St Helier. Mr Fish offer a huge range of fishing tackle as well as one of the most extensive lure selections I have ever seen..
These guys really know their local fishing (and can often be talked into revealing where the fish are currently being caught). Mick can be contacted here http://www.mrfishjersey.com/ (or by clicking the store front below).

The credit card may take a beating...
Two of each please!
Another group worthy of mention are the guys from Sinkers Sea Fishing Club (they can be found here http://sinkersseafishingclub.blogspot.com/ ) - Sinkers organise an annual bass comp with sections for bait, lure as well as catch & release, which is alot of fun.
Even I catcht the occasional fish in Jersey.
Also Jersey based, are the extremely talented Keith and Kevin White who run JBG (Jersey Bass Guides - find them here http://www.jerseybassguides.com/bassfish/blog1.php ). If you decide to visit Jersey and go guided, then these are the guys to go with (they offer a whole range of guiding as well as coaching services).

Check this short video that Keith and Kevin made of the exceptional waters they guide on.

I hope to do a bit more about JBG at some point in the future so keep an eye on this space.
Jersey wrasse love a lure too.
