Hit and run this morning.
Still in Kerry.
Woke and all i could think of was, the tide is in...... Got the wet suit and booties and pfd and 2 feed shallows and off i went.....
Got there to see two massive seals herding around a little bay, there have to be fish there... mullet/Bass or both...
Then realised....FORGOT THE CAMERA.....5H1T!
This is usually a good omen for me though....
over the next hour got hit after hit on the mullet 128... and took a hit and a fish on the ub15.
Four fish landed, and three came off and numerous bites....
Very pleased with myself .......:-D

Sea Bass and Stingrays
Set off down my 100 meter's to the sea and launched the yak....the rod setup was..
9# with an intermediate sinking line and 10lb drennan.. leading to a bleeding clouser fly.
Paddled to the mark and got there to find the Bass were on the feed... little explosions of water and fins breaking the surface...
Dropped the Bruce anchor and tidy up the cockpit and Brown trouser moment as a huge stingray slips under the yak...Tralee bay is known for them, and i was about 100 feet from shore?? Holy crap! swimmers beware... over the seission i saw about 2 dozen or so... from dinner plate size up to dinner table size!!
Cast out and Bang .. fish on, and over the next hour or so i had 4 and missed 2... all schoolies..... great scrap on the fly rod!

First contact....
Emily and i went out to chuck a few lures off the pier, and after a while with nothing doing she suggested we try some real Bass fishing at the back of the house.
Off we went and changed from SPs to hard lures and after about 20 minutes or so the feed shallow got hit..."Fish on!" i shouted but about 12 seconds later he was off...
Barb less hooks and all that!!
We walked around the point and tried a few more spots but nothing doing...
We found an old graveyard which Emily thought was cool!!!
Lady anglers outfits and lures match!!

Total blank.....
Back to the spot again last night where i had the nice chunky Bass...same lure too...and blanked.
The tide was huge though!
It lifted so much stuff, and this all came down through the swim, but i still thrashed the water and nothing...thats Bass fishing.....
