BASS, BASS & MORE BASS!
Sea Angler
WHERE THE BASS SHOULDN’T BE • From a beach gulley to a stranded tidal pool and a harbour packed with pilchards, James Batty explores why bass often turn up exactly where you’d least expect them – and what these unlikely encounters can teach us about finding more fish
WHEN RED REALLY IS GOLD • Roger Munro explores how striped red mullet have become one of Britain’s most exciting summer targets
CONFESSIONS OF A LURE JUNKIE SHORT IS GOOD! • Henry Gilbey reveals why understanding the ‘shape’ of the water could have a profound impact on your bass fishing
MINI MARLIN • For many sea anglers, garfish are little more than a colourful summer diversion – something to catch while waiting for mackerel or entertaining youngsters on a harbour wall.

DAVE’S DIARIES FEAR OF THE DARK! • Over the years, Dave Lewis’ fishing adventures have taken him to some of the wilder corners of the world.
