Fitness paddle with a fishy twist....
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)....

Hard won victory.
Easterly winds never do much for my fishing.... i still really don't know exactly why.. but the weather was sunny and calm and i went to a shore mark.
I set up and fished away and as the sun set on this mark i thought the pollack would come on the feed at least.
Slug -go sp's and hard lures were the choice of weapon!
After a while i finally got a take and this "perfect" little fellow came ashore for a photo...back he goes......
He took a white Abu rocket minnow 110mm.....
The fishing never improved though but the sense of summer was great...
Roll on the south/ south westerlies!!!

My 2011 Account is open!
Well what a night,
The north westerly wind should come over the hill and flatten the sea on the mark i was to fish.
Got there and it was perfect, but a little bright. I started with some weightless weedless slug-go in foam.. and straight away ..nearly ..i could see fish moving.
No takers, so tried a few different lures.. again nothing... every now and then a flash of silver .....
Then the sun dipped behind the hill.. a shadow fell over the area to be fished.. and i put on a favourite lure of mine....
Bang! fish on!
Landed and a very nice fish too just over the 4lb mark...photo and released... then another missed hit... then a big hit.... good fight and landed a 5.5lb'r.. this was looking good... photo and released... then during the evening 4 more smaller fish all on the same lure... photo etc!!
And as it got dark i changed the lure to a black slug-go weight/weedless and twitched it in and BANG! fish on!!!
Seven Bass in total and about 4 missed hits!!
What a way to start the season.... glug! glug! Beer o clock!
Here is a sample of Irish gold..em ...i mean silver.......ahem..
