The lure arrived safely in the UK this morning. Real nice lure too. I
primarily lure fish for sea bass these days from the shore and the lower
reaches of our local river. The sea bass here are pretty similar to your
stripers but without the stripes and generally smaller. A good fish weights
5 to 7 pounds and a 10 pounder from the shore very occasional. This lure is
to try in the river. The river is pretty small; a good cast will put you on
the opposite bank but it runs pretty deep and fast. Picture attached, about
2 miles from sea, not too pretty at this place but a good spot for the bass.
High water will see the river rise to the top of the banks. There is also a
chance of catching a sea trout. These are not the same as your sea trout but
are a sea run brown trout, similar to your steelheads. Further up river I'll
sometimes also lure fish for pike (northern pike) and again the sea trout.
Off to the river now to see if this lure can catch!
