Chasing silver again!

Well ..longlegs could not make it...(another Kayaker)......So up at 6:45 and off to venue.
Out, on to the water, and on the first drift with a chartreuse fly, trolled behind me...and.. BANG.. fish on ... good size too..Fly was from Andy... Chasing Silver.
Its a chartreuse flatwing tied on a tiemco 600sp..
Later i got a take on the lure rod, but it came off...and that was it ...
loads of shore anglers there too, (later on) but they all blanked... so not a bad result i suppose... but i thought i would get more......
Thats fishing......... (C&R of course)

Summer evening sea Bass......

Went out to a spot i wanted to try for a couple of weeks now to fish the incoming tide into darkness... Got there to find my tide times were slightly out, so set up and waited for some water to paddle on! Eventually set off and started to troll the spot that i liked the look of... Nothing happened for quite a while, then as it was getting dark the rod doubled over and the tell tale head shaking began...Bass on! I must say, this fish put up a great fight ...the best yet...the yak turned and got towed in the still air and water...after a while it came up and with a quick Boga grip a lovely fish came aboard... Hooked just in the corner of the mouth... and hook out...no problem....
