| the general in hayle where i fish at the moment there are loads of fisherman after what they call the general. i suppose most people think im talkin rubbish but the general is in fact a bass well over 2 feet long and weighs an estimated 8lb! i hooked this bass the other day on whole peeler crab and it snapped with a sudden dive. apparently this is not the first time this has happened to someone. i have found the best bait this time of year is peeler crab and mackeral.i have got some pics of me and mymates catches last week which include some bream and a bass. PEELER CRAB IS THE WAY TO GO! use it and catch bass  __________________ never think fishing at distance is better, alot of the time fish are only a few metres out, you just dont realise it     |

 Re: the general Sorry to hear you lost it mate... better luck next time maybe up rate your line and he won't get away. The General eh.... must give my pal a call at MJB Tyres and find out more. I'm a believer in peeler.... gosh a poet and don't know it!!  I Like to use it for Bass and Smoooooothounds. Or when it can give me the edge. __________________ Eventually all things merge into one, and a River runs through it. Old Smoothy |Shoot and fish .com |Fishing Holidays | Fly Fishing Tuition |

| Re: the general thought it was only big carp/freshwater fish that got names, as territorial. but good luck on the hunt for him, adds an extra element to the chase __________________ www.exmouthsaa.co.uk litter is lazyness 24 beers in a case and 24 hours in a day,coincidence or good planning |

| Re: the general yep mate, i reckon peeler is without doubt the top bait 4 bass it will out fish everthing else by an unbelievable margin. live eel from a boat on the drift is the only ecception. well thats my view.  |

| Re: the general already stated on another thread that most of us shore anglers carry too much gear when going fishing, not sure I can fit A boat into my tackle box, sure its the one piece of kit that would really help us as well,maybe could use simons helecopter though, makes distance casting easier as well __________________ www.exmouthsaa.co.uk litter is lazyness 24 beers in a case and 24 hours in a day,coincidence or good planning |

| Re: the general have any of u guys ever had a bass so big it snapped your line in seconds? i bet some of you have, because where i go fishing it has happened so many times i have lost count, and i have seen it happen. its that last dive that seems to get everyone  __________________ never think fishing at distance is better, alot of the time fish are only a few metres out, you just dont realise it |
