More conversions....

weather to fish or not?

Weather is all over the place!
So... Plan hatched..... Monday... Lure only.....North westerly winds....
A trip outside the harbour must be on...
Come On The Bass!


Time to try my experiments!!

Dash for Bass ends in disappointment...

Fly rod and a few bits and bobs... anchor/ drogue nav light...
Straight after work to a spot i found during my paddle training...
And when i got there it was full of weed.... brown sludge weed...no.. not a correct scientific name for it...in the water it was pretty, but it just clung to the knots and flies ... and i could not escape it... i gave up around half ten.....





Again no sign of sprat or sand eel ... still cold and windy too .... summer???????

Spot the difference.....

Some more experimenting...........

Cork Meet.

Where are you off to dad?

Yes... the Kayak meet was finally here... about 15 yaks on the water...

The sat avo was very windy, but we made the best of it in a sheltered spot... or so we thought till the wind shifted!



We all fished hard but only two Bass were caught and i had blanked..



Heading in the end of a difficult day....







Some chaps got up in to cobh and raided an off licence!





Back to the campsite (Thanks Pat!) and some food and a few beers...



the doggies were raiding......

6 A.M. Sun. ....Joe's Kelly kettle caused holiday flight mayhem!

The earwigs in it made the coffee taste better...



Roche's point! and a big swell but little chop... real kayak fishing!













Well no Bass for me, but lots of pollack on lure and mostly fly rod... Two good Bass were taken though....
The Pollack were down deep and the Rio T-11 line got down fast, and trolled very well indeed.....conditions got worse and I headed in to the shelter of the harbour and had more Pollack, but smaller....
Great weekend!
