Nice...on the fly rod too...great fight....

A lovely Bass last night off the yak on the fly rod.....

A super fight....

A few Pollack too...

Chasing Silver

Alarm set 3:45 am ...up and off..45 min to venue....
Met Longlegs at venue and he brought me to another spot to try for Pollack while waiting for tide to be optimum for main target species.....
Set up and launched in to very calm flat sheltered bay...looking out to sea to observe very large swell with breaking tops...nasty!
Longlegs hit the Pollack first after commenting on his lack of faith in his new lure......
He struck again ...both Pollack were good size and fit condition...
Not sure the order of events now... but it ended up 3 Pollack to 2 to longlegs...i captured my smaller fish and i am convinced one of his earlier Pollack...we headed in and moved to main venue......
We had a quick bite to eat.
Launched in to a very flat sea and paddled out and anchored up....lure and fly flew in all directions.....nothing...then i got a good take but no hook up....
We both slagged each other and another few chucks and fish on!
Lure rod bent over and head shaking and my first kayak Bass on the way up........then FISH OFF!!!!!
I blame Longlegs for shouting and roaring like a rabid chimp on a yak......
After a while i put on one of Andy's flies from chasing silver...the sand eel pattern and while trolling.. .got a good hit on the fly rod...FISH ON... and after a lovely fight i landed my first Kayak Bass.....Yippee...duck broken.....finally!
Then after awhile another fish trolling too....
So we both set up the fly rods to paddle troll and ended up with 6 Bass in total the largest 4.5lb..smallest 2.5lb....


















A great day out on the water......
