Are we nearly there yet...

The end of the calm weather has brought a flood of small Bass to our shores.
mounted on a 1/2oz / 14g Power Football Jig Jig Head and was most welcome!

Must Have?

,


Apparently, Hardy have announced a commemerative fly reel for the forthcoming
Royal Wedding, retailing at a recession sensitive RRP of $1200.

I fully expect it to be this season's "Must have" accessory
around the beaches of West Cork......... or maybe not?

Surf fishing.

,


Can't wait to try this monster of a lure in the pounding West Cork Surf, later on in the year.

It's the Slim Bait 170 from Hart and weighing in at 41g this one is going cast like a missile.

Also in my growing squadron of flyer's is the Megabass Flutta bait 35g, Megabass Metal X Bubble Header 28g and the 25g Duo Press bait Kamuy.

Countdown to blast off has begun.....

New Rod - Japan Style

,



Ordered a New Lure Rod today from Japan (Details to follow).

I have to blog what my web translater made of the 
Manufacturer's Website information on the rod................


Hooked seize power also ensures Rankashibasu, excellent operability and manipulate Biggumino even tighter, "to seize attractive eaten" will change and shape the ideals of the angler. Rod not only high-power, but through the power of the lifting force to move the bat from the berries and delicate sense byte enables instant communication and speedy physically not take the strain.


Can't wait to try it, and see if it's all true !!




A Flounder on a Flutta?

Whatever next?

My season has begun....

,


Landed my first lure caught fish of 2011 this weekend whist on a trip to Co Kerry. I probably would of caught more had I resisted the urge to experiment with some of the many new lures and Soft Plastics I have acquired over the winter. A nice fish of average size probably between 3 and 4lbs with an unusually greenish tinge to it. The lure that did the business was my old favorite the TM 145 SLD-F.

The  trip away was most enjoyable. Having noticed a period of settled weather coinciding with some big tides I made the call to head off. It was great to be out lure fishing again and exploring an unfamiliar coastline with huge fishing potential in fabulous Irish Spring weather.

This fish was caught a month earlier than my first fish of last year, hopefully an omen of a good season ahead.
