Houseplant Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 You should all be calling it European bass or Dicentrarchus labrax if you want to be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just about the most northerly beach in mainland uk. the whole area holds good numbers of Bass. Caught two flounder and lost a decent Bass last time, missus and myself are going over for a short break early Sept, will be using a side of mackerel and a dongle..🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
