Our IOW Adventure - Part 1 - The Bass Bit 

Thank you. This brought back many holiday fishing times at Bembridge in the '70s when I was a teenager on holiday with my parents. We stayed at the Rendezvous Cafe self contained apartments right by the lifeboat station pier (is it still there I wonder). One time there has been a king tide that washed up heaps of seaweed to the right of the lifeboat pier and the seaweed was full of maggots. The next king tide washed them out and the mullet and bass were having a field day. My brother and I also had a field day and were releasing most of what we caught. It was great fun.

What a great, boys, beer and bass break that looks like. Nothing better for the wellbeing. Look forward to further instalments. Tight lines

Great couple sessions lads. Found myself laughing and smiling😃😆 along with you all the way through. Lovin it👍 Crackin' bass too............regards.........Alex

Another great video Tom a cracking couple of bass each and congratulations to Darren on his pb bass enjoy the rest of the trip stay safe and tight lines

Hi chaps, great video. I keep a adapted prawn pot in bembridge harbour, full of crabs in 30min

Great Fishing as always, im looking at going down Milford way Next weekend, not been out in ages cant wait.

Great video guys and one that will help others catch more fish,its good that you talk through not only the rigs but also the locations and why you try them.

Good skills kids!

Hi Tom and Darren you both ok, well done on the bass . Great vid spot on. All the best from GRIMSBY

Another brilliant and informative video Tom ,me and the wife fished Bembridge, this week last yr ,not much luck ,but thanks to your skill and passing down your knowledge it's given us better chance in future, we love the iow ,thanks again sir

Bass on 🎣🌊

What a great session you both had ..lovely to watch as always Tom. At the same time 3 of us relied on your normal standard of ragworm on Friday for a trip to West Bexington. Conditions weren't right there but when we compared all our rag baits ..we all agreed that many were dead and the rest lifeless. On the same session we had already discussed how we'd all travel to your shop as it focuses on sea fishing. One of us sourced rag from the moordown tackle shop ... They were very lively. To be fair he didn't out fish us ..but I'm sure you get my point. Quality control surely ?

That whole area is so fishy mate, i run down from kent to fish the iow regularly,and spent many hours exactly where you were. Theres some lovely ground just a little further out the harbour mouth,perfect for lure fishing in the waders 😉

cracking vid mate nice chunky Bars tight knickers

Nice session and nice to have you visiting the Island 👍

Some cracking bass Tom, if I’d known you were coming we could have met up, I don’t live far from there 😩. The main channel is really deep 🐟🎣

Great vid lads.... Nice to see simplicity for the bass. And weren't the fish of outstanding quality? Really nice specimens 👌

Great vid thanks lovely stamp of bass 👍

Friends, fun and fishing, sounds like bliss. Well done on those bass, I think I might know of a few local runs like that which could well produce. Got me thinking now. Would love to fish IOW, I stare at it most days, if only it didn't cost 4 million quid to get there!!

Quality bit of bassing gents, lovely looking venue it looks very similar to Mudeford. Do you ever use soft back crabs for your bassing, Tom?

Should’ve let me know when you were on the island, I would have had two dozen peelers off you,!!!! .great video

Another great video mate, cracking fish what size hooks were you using. ? tight lines mate 🎣🐟🎣

Fantastic cinematography and gentle music. Quite reminiscent of the early go fishing films, just a lot more "modern". IE You'd never have found the copious gay energy this provides on 80's TV.

That’s our secret spot blown!

Love it guys. Whens part 2 out? Did You fish sandown for a blonde ray?

So near but so far! You are in Bournemouth, I’m in Southampton. But it’s fished so little. A bridge too far…

Still way off my pb bass 16 lb on gardan worm fishing for salmon in river tawe morriston swansea about 9 years ago

Did you remember your passport? 😂

Brilliant video filming, editing, as well as some knowledge, fun and laughter included as always Sir. That said, you are both TOSSERS for you achievements and my van has 3 seats incase you forgot?! 😂
