First Winner....(XRAP)

Well we finally have a first winner who gets the Ayu XRAP. The prize goes to Lee Sampson (I will let this one slip through as I didn't state one comment per person on the first comp & Lee did post the 7th comment).

 Lee - please comment your address details below (I will not publish them) and the lure will be on its way per registered post in the next few days.

So in future just one comment per person please & I will have to exclude comments that are anonymous as I have no way of knowing who posted them! (in future please make sure you include your name when entering).

Also guys n gals please post answers in the individual comment boxes (per comp) - it make things tricky if you answer two comps in one box!

I will post the comments in the XRAP thread in a few minutes for everyones entertainment.....oh and the IMA Popkey is still up for grabs so get in there!

Thanks to all for playing!

PS to sum up - one post per person - use real names and one comp per comment .......

Win a lure!

As Christmas is almost here I thought it would be a good idea to offer a prize (or two) over the next ten days or so.

First up for grabs is a Rapale XRAP in AYU (the much loved SW version).

All you have to do to win it, is to post a comment (below) with the answer to the following question:

Q: What do the letters JDM stand for?

The prize will go to the 7th person to post (comment) the correct answer (all comments will be published once the 7th person to give the correct answer has commented).

Good luck to all who enter ....oh and I will also cover packing & postage!

A half day on Chesil.

After a bit of confusion as to conditions & meeting up with Steve (sorry about that Steve), I ended up popping down to Dorset for a half day yesterday. Mark was guiding for Dave and I caught up with them for a brief Chesil session.
True to form the perfect morning conditions changed on my arrival & the wind turned which pretty much killed the swell we so badly needed.Dave has only recently taken up lure fishing, so needless to say he was happy catching a few fish despite the going being tough,

A happy Dave with his first Chesil Bass.

The X-Rap in Ayu was the lure Dave was catching on (bait fish were abundant but the bigger bass didnt show up as we had hoped).

Greedy bait fish.

I managed a couple too.

Its was also great to see how close the bass will come in to get an easy meal - the fish in the above picture was caught in water that just covered its back (bold fish indeed!!).

Walking Chesil can break a man!

With the conditions looking average for the next day I decided to make the long haul back (I had intended to stay overnight if the fishing was really good).

I hope to get another trip out (possibly to the Gower) in the next few days in the search for a bigger fish or two........

Tight lines!

Hens Teeth.

Finally managed to get hold of some X-Rap SW 10s in Ayu which seem to be very scarce at the moment.

This lot will be winging their way to Dorset where Im sure Mark is dribbiling already.

The X-Rap - a great little suspender.

Might hold onto a couple actually........(just kidding Mark dont worry).

Tight Lines.
