First bash at the fish off the Ysak.......

Up at 06:00 and off to Roches point, the weather forecast was really good, so i was sure i could get outside the harbour for a crack off the spring pollack.
And i was right, it was perfect, so rigged up and i head for the mark armed with several soft plastics..Finesse worms Hogy's and Perfeel redgills... all mounted on 10 gr. jig heads.
I was using the small kids rod which is the perfect size handle but a little light if you hook into something bigger...i must have a look for a new rod...
Fished along the rough grounds for several hours both jigging..casting..and trolling but not a touch....
The highlight was a ship coming out of the harbour with Dolphins jumping at its bow...too far for my phone cam though...
Anyway, some pics of the morning!

Ysak......

Some cargo bungee fitted tonight at the huge expense of €3.50...handy to hold a box of lures or a bottle of water...but i am told its a hook magnet...so barb less it shall have to be...lol....

Fishing in the Buff...........................

While getting some yak stuff last week, i came across a stand with some "Buffs"...
Its a kind of scarf/snood thing, and i had seen them used on YouTube, so i thought...I'm having one of those...



So i ordered a Buff...and its one of the anti UV range...95% protection....
So far i have used it on my bike cycling in the dark and cold...Its GREAT!
This morning cycling in the dark and rain to work it worked a treat to keep me cosy...and later on when the sun shines, a peaked hat and a buff will keep the sun burn away....so here's a link.....
