I wanted a good long paddle, so i set out from Aghada Pier and headed for Roche's point.
A soft lure was also deployed... why waste an opportunity??
Well, there were no hits on the way out, but the water was unreal, so calm!!
I met a harbour and Grey seal on the way too, and as i neared the point i saw something unreal.... some type of dolphin/porpoise (not sure) breaching the surface in the distance... there was a pod of them there having a great time.
Too far away for my mobile to capture though...
Out i went outside the harbour for a peep... and the reason the pod was there became obvious....Mack's breaking in there thousands right under the lighthouse...
I trolled my eel type lure through the breaks and hoping to catch a Bass under the onslaught, but i only connected with a good size mack which i shook off the single hook.
Easterly breeze not helping with the Bass????
Now i could only stay for 10/ 15 minutes because the sun was now dipping and the long paddle back was yet to come...
I left the pier at 6-30 pm and left the point at 8-33 pm and touched down again at 10-10 pm... arms were tired and legs and bum numb.....
A great night on the water....
Some proper Kayak fishing needed soon!!! The pollack are waiting(i hope)....
