Cork_Bass

Just a quickie guys, Ordered the Crewsaver Pro from the wetsuit outlet. top Class service. Ordered late on a monday night. they came back to me on Tuesday with a query which i replied to by lunch hour. Had the suit delivered to Southern Ireland by thursday morning. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Good deal too. Crewsaver were quoting me £319 but with this gang got for £211 including free thermal fleece and postage. haven't had the chance to try same out yet but looks the dogs...

Thats is then time to strap a 16/0 hook to the back of me Yak and start dishing out the burley. I can just see it now "KAYAK LANDS GREAT WHITE"

tx for the help guys..might give one a go to protect me delicate digits

Guys/Girls has anyone used or tried one of these ..looks the ideal way of landing fish. If so have you sourced in the U.S. These are what i have been looking at. Anyone have an opinion ? thanks http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/Merchant2...Category_Code=t

Macks will hit anything with a bit of silver in it...main thing though is to use an intermediate line...makes a HUGE difference. much more hook ups than with a floater..as for the bass..you aren't far wrong..im not an expert at catching them...but again a popper with an intermediate can be fab fun and deadly. chartreuse or white would be good bass colours

does the house come with or without paddle :-p

woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom cupboard to watch. The woman's husband also comes home. The lover climbs into the cupboard, not realising that the little boy is in there already. The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes, it is." Boy - "I have a football." Man - "That's nice." Boy - "Want to buy it?" Man - "No, thanks." Boy - "My dad's outside." Man - "OK, how much?" Boy - "£250" In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the cupboard together. Boy - "Dark in here." Man - "Yes, it is." Boy - "I have football boots." The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?" Boy - "£750" Man - " OK. Sold." A few days later, the boy's father says to the boy, "Grab your boots and football, let's go outside and have a game of soccer. The boy says, "I can't, I sold my ball and boots." The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" Boy -"£1,000." The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is much more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church to see the priest and make sure you confess." They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The priest says, "Don't start all that again, you little bastard. You're in my cupboard now."

Welcome. Now ill have back up when im laughed at with a fly rod in me one hand and a paddle in the other(well cousin and self are the only two lunatics that i know of...so far !)

Certainly not too late for the macks over her...had 2 on the fly rod in the Yak last week...in fact mid dec 2 years ago had a mackerel on Peeler..the world is going mad i tell you...mad !

Tx v much. Stock pretty limited here in ireland

Forgive my stupidity lads what's this hook1 place...i tried www.hook1.com...is that it ? Don't see any shop there..then again I AM a luddite !

Hi Geoff. Writing from Ireland (ull never guess where with my I.D). just back in from an afternoon jaunt around some of cork harbour in the hobie outback with mirage drive. purchased about 4 months ago only had delivery about a month ago. today was trip no 3. Self and cousin purchased. As you say not cheap but by god great fun. First day out managed a Sea trout and a coalfish on the fly rod (yes in saltwater) and cousin connectted with a bass about 6lb. Being the yak virgins of course we had no net and after a frantic peddle(not paddle) of about 1/2 mile towards shore Mr. Bass decided he had had enough and promptly threw hook. Day 2 was a non event due to bright sun and glass like conditions. Today..poor as well. did manage a mackerel (greenhouse effect how are you) on the fly..you never do know. Certainly can recommend ...opens up so much water. Take a bit of getting used to but the mirage drive makes things SO easy......next trip it has been decided to go for a troll with a rapala...the beauty of the mirage drive is that hands are free and you can cover huge distances without any effort. one word though..im a pretty erm...large person (f## b###ard) and as a result yak sits "deeper in water" thus providing more stability..if you are lighter/smaller then the sport might make more sense. Certainly recommend the whole thing though. Had an initial problem with one of the dfrives..HObie had a replacement here before we could say "shi##y workmanship". Gizza shout if can be of any assistance
