I have been out a few times and threw out the bait...but couldn't get them to feed on it.
I also have another plan to try dog biscuits...
will keep yea posted...
Just a little Bass fishing from around Cork city and county, from shore and kayak. Enjoy, and remember to please release most of your catch.......

Bass on the top..........
Out tonight with the fly rod, and because it was low water i had a "gurgler" fly on...and a floating line.
This will skim over weed beds and greatly reduce snagging..
The one i used also has a weed guard on it....
Standing on the shore line i cast about 15 feet out just beyond a kelp bed..the fly hit the water and one twitch...BANG....an explosion of water...FISH ON!
A nice fight followed with the fish making two or three runs and then i beached it over some sea weed...Photo shoot and back it went no problem...it was very lightly hooked....A RESULT!
Big grin on my face...i had two more follows but no more takes......
In the excitement i forgot to weigh it.....ah well....Have a guess!

Summer Cod.
I was sitting there tackling up and looked up for no reason to see a basking shark swim off my bow about 20 feet away...UNREAL... and my phone was in my dry bag....i sat looking at it swimming not feeding... and it was at least the size of my P13....maybe more not sure... it took me by surprise...big smile on my face!!
Black feathers went down and bang... brace of pollack up.
O.K. get the phone out...
feathers down again and bang...feathers gone....S**t....
Jellys on and more pollack ...then some cod (new species)and more pollack during the day...
Later while trolling back to shore had more pollack and a Mack.(new)
Two more species to add to my yak list.........now.......would a Basking shark take a bit of cheese?
The sun shined...but the wind blew and the swell was big at times but flat...a bigger drogue than my H20 one would have been better......
More feathers needed.....i like the plain old fashioned ones ..black or white.....
Pollack

All in all a great day out....I released all these...but next time i'm bringing some back for supper...
now to make some Home made feathers.......

Mullet poo bait!
Going to try this for the mullet next few trips...can you spot the fly?
Its breakfast cereal by the way!!!
Yakpollacking
Finished work early and got a free pass with the good weather, skipped dinner had cheese on toast and threw me gear in the car.
Fly rod set up sinking line with sparse clouser.
Got loads of small pollack and saw a basking shark in the distance.biggest about 2lb(not the shark )...lost count..
Crushed the barb and lost the best fish at the side of the yak..he was goin back anyway...
They hit hard at the take ..even the little uns...
Did some trolling later and they were on fire! Rod rattling every time...dropped the fly and line at one point and ..yip..fish on..but tiny..proper little predators...
Had some new rigging to try..worked fine and i used the grip lead anchor set up...PERFECT!
Very enjoyable... wanted to paddle to the shark but two many boats about...next time ..it looked big!!
Used a jelly eel, jigging for the two pollack above a few days before..Storm eel and berkley jig head...

Bass ban looms.
Out on wed. 12th of May for an evening trip on the Yak.
Used jelly's and fly rod with clouser......
One follow from a Launce...not a sign of a Bass...some mullet there though.
Might give the mullet a serious go during the Bass ban, and remember to return any Bass caught during the ban, in the water if possible...Tight lines!
