August 2016 – Hooks, Lines & Sinkers

It’s been a while but pleased to report have managed to get a few sessions in of late with a fair few fish taken but none of any particular size. All the fish have been in really great condition though which is good to see.

Venues have been varied from rock marks, estuary and shingle beach and a lot have come to tried and tested lures like the good old IMA Komomo SF-125’s and the Patchinko’s. Have found myself fishing more hard lures and less with softs like the Fiiish Black Minnows in these sessions but I’m sure that balance will be redressed as we head into the Autumn….. for me there’s nothing like fishing surface lures on a early summer morning or late evening! Don’t get me wrong the softs are proven catchers but I find when you get a hit on a hard lure, and particularly with a surface lure, it’s just that bit more exhilarating!

Next three months I’m planning to get a lot more fishing done including a trip back to Ireland in October…. don’t like to wish my time away but simply cannot wait for it!

Anyhow below are a few pictures from recent sorties…
