Converting lures to single hooks....

I am not too sure about the conversions i tried, the weight of the hooks may be affecting the action of the lures, so i must try them a few more times to get a feel for what's happening....

Back to the hot spot....

On Monday evening last, i got back to the hot spot from last week.The weather was great, and all the signs were good.. as i unloaded the gear to the yak. I had brought my old rod, from the early eighties..which my daughter uses now ...to have a bit of fun on some light tackle. And as i paddled there, i noticed the birds (gull's) sitting on the rocks, also there were no gannets or terns diving...in fact, no sign of life at all really....
So.. i trolled a red gill in blue and white... and nothing happened... after a while i drifted across a good reef in deeper water and cast out ..sink and draw... bang ..the Pollack were on form...
and after a fish every cast and i don't know how many, i got fed up and tried to pursue the quarry i came for...
Different lures and Sp's resulted in nothing except the occasional pollack...
That's Bass fishing...
They were away somewhere else.......

A welcome Pee break, resulted in a lovely part of the world...





Ended up playing hide and seek in the yak...........
