I did it again!

I begged and got down on my knee's like the sniveling little girl i am and begged for a free pass...
The paperwork got stamped and off i went...
Put on a sand eel pattern (Andy again) and trolled to my mark......
3 other bass swam with this one while playing it, but i only got a single mack later....
still a happy chappy..
tested the repair in me dry suit too and a result!!
cider and ribs now!



time for a pee...

i burst my butt trying....

The fly from chasing silver...trolled on a floating line..

Well ...I did it ...

This is one of the flies from Chasing Silver which did the biz for me on two of the Bass.
A flat wing.

Trolling seemed to be the method that worked .. over shallow weedy ground. A rio floating fly line with 10lb drennan leader 10ft. long.

Happy to go back to fight again

Nice!

Chasing silver fly...

Again....



lovely evening...


lots of craft on the water

this one took a clouser...

lovely fish....

Not catching much.. with a twist....

well... i have been out twice from the shore and once from the yak, since Emily caught her Bass.
The first shore trip had lure and fly, and i had so many follows i lost count.
I tried every trick i know...(except bait) and they would not take.
The second shore trip was fly only... floating and sinking line and, for August, the water was like a desert... lifeless....no joy....
The last trip, was from kayak and using feathers and lure, i caught Mack's and Pollack...nothing unusual in size, but my "Big" lures failed to connect to a Bass.

SO!

Im out tomorrow night with the fly rod off the yak... SouthEasterly winds dont sound good, but, i will give it a bash.........
wish me luck.. i need a fix!

Think...they look like this...not sure...

aaaagghhhh!!!
