Welcome; this blog is about our sea fishing trips with me, Tim Harrison - feature writer for Sea Angler magazine - aboard the epic fishing boat 3 Fishes that sails from New Quay, West Wales. I specialise in lure casting for sea bass but also hunt the waters of Cardigan Bay for its other finfish and shellfish. I'll blog on methods and techniques but also catches and news. From sharks to spider crabs and bass to octopus you'll find it all here...

Rapture capture
If you follow my Facebook ramblings you'll have spotted that the lads from Trabucco UK flew in (yes posh I know but they really did fly in to Aberporth just down the road) last week. They came to give their bassing gear a work out and were particularly keen to give the new Rapture series lures a swim.
The bottom line is that the lures catch. Indeed they catch well. Now let be be clear and up front with you about this. I am not in Trabucco's pay (other than they paid for the day aboard 3 Fishes as anyone else would) and I have no 'deal' with them its simply a good working relationship. The came, they used, I put them on the fish and I watched. Seems fair enough.
I like the look of what I saw and can find no better thing to say about the lures than since that day I have been giving them to clients to use! In the pics associated to this blog are a couple of strong lures that clearly catch fish. The big selling point for these fellows is the price range (as well as the fact that they catch).
The Chartreuse Monomo 120 below retails at £7.99. Yes that's right there is no numeral 1 missing from in front of the 7. Nice kit, good price and it works.
