Late in the year Mackerel and Sammy and Samantha seals !

A late in the season Mackerel caught today tide half out.

Ominous looking sky , you can definitely feel the nip in the air. No Bass today but plenty of Pollock around. Stay safe folks. 

 

Bass fishing and mini Pollock caught on the east coast N.I

Beautiful east coast Northern Ireland.

Tim Cully’s work of art with a drone. Yes the fisherman is me ! Also my little sailboat gets a flyby. 

We are going to need a bigger boat !

Gulp ! 30 foot plus Basking Shark along side my Sea kayak- harmless and great to see.
 

 A rare Sun fish or Moa Moa at the Gobbins Co Antrim , normally a tropical fish but occasionally show up. 

Under water view of this strange looking fish. I believe they eat mostly jellyfish so I’m told. 

John’s fantastic Fishlocker YouTube channel

John’s an amazing fisherman and his knowledge has helped me greatly. Please watch and subscribe to his video channel! The hints and tips he gives you work ! The fish he catches is unreal. Enjoy

A fantastic youtube channel take a look please.

Another good days Bass fishing

A decent size Bass caught just after high water today. 

 This boyo took another shrimp fly on the bombarda float ! They put up a good account of themselves and stripped a good bit of line from the reel. Quite a enjoyable day. 

Co Antrim Bass fishing

Tried out the Savage gear Panic prey v2 lure and on the 4th cast boom ! They work great. 

Watched this guy take the lure. Looking forward to trying them out again in a day or so. The panic prey lure casts like a dream and floats and moves brilliant in the water. This lure was a 28 gram with 20lb J braid on the reel on a 9.5 foot Penn regiment 2 spinning rod. 

New lures to try.

😁😁😁

Some more lures arrived today to try out. Savage gear lures are fantastic to use and also got two resin shrimps from a guy on ebay to try with the bombarda float. Will keep you posted how they work in a few days time.

 

Fresh water catches

Bass and Pollock fishing In Northern Ireland

This is the set up I use quite often. 

The great thing is it ilimitates snags over shallow ground and inables you to cast long distance and put a fly/lure wherever you fancy. I use Bombarda float - 20 gram sinking in calm conditions and move up to 40 gram In windier weather. The line I use is Diawa J braid 8 strand 18lb and it’s very fine and casts a great distance if it’s required, with a fluorocarbon leader 12-20lb same as rod length.
