Hi everyone , this blog is just a bit of fun and brief history of things i like and hobby i love , and if i catch something its a bonus! I enjoy the outdoors and nature that our beautiful wee country has to offer. I live on the east coast of Co.Antrim and spend most of my time near the sea. I enjoy fishing , sea kayaking,and sailing my little sailboat when i get the chance ! I am just enjoying myself and learning every day about different ways to catch what our coast line hides! Most importantly a massive thank you to all my friends who have helped me over the last few years ! Stay safe everyone. Tight lines !
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.
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.
