Explosive Topwater Action with the Espetit Surface Lure
June 1, 2025
There’s nothing quite like the rush of a surface take — that split-second eruption as a bass smashes a lure dancing across the top. And
There’s something special about lure fishing under the cover of darkness — when the tide turns, the wind drops, and the bass come alive.
Sam from Beneath The Waves landed this absolute slab of a bass — measuring 70cm — during a recent night session. Caught and released safely, this fish is a perfect example of how experience, timing, and the right gear come together.
The YKR Happy Eel in Green Natural. Fished slowly through a known feeding lane, its lifelike action and subtle presence proved irresistible — just natural movement and precision placement.
🦺 Safe & Smart Night Fishing
Sam’s catch highlights the importance of safe solo angling in the dark:
•Scout your ground in daylight
•Use a reliable headlamp (and carry a backup)
•Wear reflective or hi-vis gear
•Let someone know your plan
📏 The fish was quickly measured, photographed, and returned strong — just how we like it.
Inspired? You should be. We’ve just had a massive restock of the full YKR Happy Eel range — including the deadly Green Natural.
Shoutout to Sam for the epic session and the perfect release. Check out more of his adventures over at Beneath The Waves.
