My Magnificent Seven...

,

I've been thinking of trying to reduce down the number of lures I carry partly for practical reasons but also as a challenge to see how few presentations I think I can get away with to cover ALL conditions Rock, Sand, Surf / Surface, midwater, bottom, and Night or Day! I thought perhaps five might do it for me but I've finally settled on a MAGNIFICENT SEVEN as follows...



Top - Smith Zip Sea Pop / Zorus Patchinko
Mid - Feed Shallow / Zonk Gataride
Deep - IMA Barbarossa
Soft - Wave Worm / One up Shad



I'm gonna cheat here and not commit to colors as I want the option of changing to suit water clarity may it be crystal clear, tinged, or soupy, also the soft plastics I reserve the right to fish from weightless through to say a 14g /4/0 weedless Jig Head which gives me another at least ten presentations. 


So for what its worth there you have it I'd really like to reduce what I carry (And buy!) and that's what I've come up with and all I need now is some fish to cast at...


What's your Magnificent Seven?



A New Low?

,

Just back from a trip away that was well...a complete non event fish wise! I traveled to an area that was producing for me all winter and here we are in Aug and I can't find a single fish or even get a hint of any interest. This was despite making a 4 a.m. start and fishing the change of light at a location where I'd bet my house on picking up a few fish at almost any time of the day or year even. The tides were big the wind from a southerly quarter with a bit of swell but it does have to be said the recent powerful weather system or "Hurricane" (As we were told it would be) had stirred things up with water clarity varying greatly between locations. BUT, I've built on many hours of local fishing knowledge, I'm using new techniques (Maybe I should revert back) ; ), better equipment etc etc but it all means nothing if they're not there for whatever reason. It does make me think (Presuming this is weather related) what Irish Bass Fishing might become if the commercials plundered the numbers to a point at which this standard of fishing is the norm but hey lets not go there. So what to do? Back off and wait for stable weather - not really an option for an addict, change methods, locations, timings? Maybe but that probably isn't the answer, carry on fishing regardless when it looks hopeful? Yes that's probably what I'll be doing!
