actual fishing!

[Snatcher]

i'm off to catch proper fish on poppers in 7 weeks, i'm away to kenya again and i've stocked up on a couple of surface lures to try the shore mark i fished last year when tony was almost spooled by something we still have no idea what it was, though my dough would be a trevally of some sort.

 

i'm also going to try for dolphin (the fish) on a spinning rod and poppers from the boat, when you hook one on normal gear his mates usually come for a look, so i can sight cast lures to them, should be interesting

 

so if i get a couple of those, wee bass in luce bay will seem a bit tame, but hey.......

 

BTW, if you are training for a common skate better do plenty hyperextensions for your lumbar region incase davy has you getting a big girl on one of his "lochaline torture sticks"

 

Want any lures tying up for your Kenya trip HD???

i don't know what kind of fluffy things i would need john....

 

any suggestions??

 

last time i was there the only thing we could get baitfish on was a tiny black muppet about 1.5" long on a 1/0 hook,

 

there was millions of small tuna all round the boat but this is all they would hit....strange

I missed the date and now all the beds are booked but I suppose if I drove up I could sleep in the car as I've got an estate, although time wise I'd rather fly and scrounge a lift to and from the airport off you, but then where do I sleep if I don't have the car? It's all too complicated. I could do with one of those big flat things to test my Accurate 12 twin speed on.

 

hi norm , pm ian burret he has the big house at ardtornish booked for a month he might have a spare bed!

In Kona this summer the lures we used for catching skipjack for bait were even smaller, just a skirt fixed onto a size 1 shortshank hook 'the wrong way round' so the 'tentacles' were facing up the line. We too saw loads of tuna on the surface, but they were being finicky and we only got 1.

Sounds like a plan Guy. Will take a beachcaster if it will fit in Norries car ok. Oh silly me he is taking the boat as well!!!!

 

HD will try and make enquiries on the lure front for you

Pics of wildlife ??? what d'you want...Deer, Otters, White tails, Goldens, porpoises, dolphins, ??. I just hope Davy will have been feeding them, and they perform as requested..... They usually do, including Sammy, the tame seagull !!!!

 

 

Wildlife and Scenery in abundance John although please do not call Bob the Seagull "Sammy" as suggested by Norrie he has become quite attached to his name and changing it at this late stage would only increase his Schizophrenia even more.
