Summing up Kerry...

I found this pic and thought... ya thats Kerry in summer....
Thats Brandon in the distance.....

Weed weed and more weed.....

Sitting at home thinking, the night looks good... tide is big...got the paperwork stamped by the boss (wife) and off i went. Got there and all i could see was weed floating everywhere... Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Tried a few lures and a weedless 9" slug go ... and had a boil behind that, but the weed was a serious problem... but keep trying i did..... And i winkled one out... on a 10gram Jig head and 7.5" SMELT Slug-go... The wind to my back took the lure away! It was a lucky shot, within feet of the fish, because the hooks would snag weed after three or four turns.... Back home now and time for a Guinness!

Bye Bye lad........

Just a few Pic's...try to visit this part of the world.....

Home James....

Back in Cork, eating Pizza and planning a harbour hunt ....reel soon!

Run of bad luck continues.....

Well... i had seen a few flounder moving while wading over the last two weeks. I have caught a flounder on the fly rod before, only once and a by-catch to be fair.So i set up the rod and put on a Rio T-11 and leader... and a black clouser with some lure flash in a size 4.
Walked there and after about 20 casts, the leader parts....which is when i remember...the spool of Drennan is back in the house....
Yes... fail to prepare, prepare to fail....

Another blank....

Popped out again the other evening, and another blank... and total lack of any signs of fish at all!
I get the feeling that the bigger tides are the ones to fish here... but alas its next week for the next big one, and i will be home again.

Mind your step!

Only knee deep and a few feet from the shore.... and its the middle of the afternoon. I saw one move and then counted 11 in one spot!

No fun off the yak...

I paddled out to a reef with the fly rod yesterday morning and thought it would be a good spot, and looking at it out there, im sure it would be.
But the Bass had other ideas and didnt show....
