This clip sums up fishing pretty well...
You hunt and catch a single fish and then a shoal comes along and they wont take the fly....lol....
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.......

1st December urban recon .....
A break in this dreadfull weather had me out in the Harbour right up near Blackrock castle for a recon.
The water was very dirty as expected and the shoals of mullet are gone, with only the odd fish here and there breaking the surface.
Weeks of windy and rain filled squals have left there mark, and there are more due at the weekend.
The paddle was 2 hours long and i felt it at the end...

It could have been perfect...
The weather has been pretty awful,lots of wind and rain,but i had the chance for a day trip to try for some Pike and the forecast looked good.
But when i got there the water had risen a lot and visibility was down to 3 feet in the water.
The fly rod was assembled and the yak fitted out.
But i knew the going would be tough.
I had used the replot stinger for most of the day and also a fly Allen tied with a rattle built in, but not a touch....
I cant say i didn't enjoy the peaceful setting though.....it was a beautiful day!

Smashed...
My "middleling" got hold of my fly rod tip section, about two weeks ago, and used it as a fairy wand...thus converting it to a 4 piece rod!!!
But i phoned Leeda last week and they sent a new one which arrived today...
Great service ...to be fair....
I have been looking at the BVK rods... if only Santa will bring one?????
