Ending the Bass fishing season approaches on January 31st, with the catch-and-release period moved to 01 February to 31 March most anglers in North Wales are packing up for the season. However, we were gearing up for one last shot at landing some more bass, which can be a challenge during the winter season. To achieve success, it’s crucial to understand the behaviour patterns of the late-season bass, especially during a full moon.

Fishing after a storm can be a great opportunity to catch fish, but it’s important to be aware of the risks associated with it. Storms can stir up the water and bring fish closer to the shore, making them more accessible to anglers. However, the water can be rough and dangerous, so it’s crucial to always stay safe and avoid fishing in hazardous conditions. Before heading out, always check the weather forecast and sea conditions, and make sure you have the appropriate safety equipment with you.
