David Norman of West Cork Bass reports…
Managed to sneak out for a quick trip to close out what has been an unusual season of 2022 weather wise, but with also some great fishing to be had at times.
On this occasion the fish seemed to have been waiting to feed for as long as I’d been waiting to get out and fish for them, judging by the action which was fast and furious with some monster West Cork Pollock.
One was well into double figures, following my lures and flies up from the deep and attacking close under my kayak in crystal clear water despite a chilly wind and quite lumpy conditions.
…dropping water temperatures and shorter daylight hours so experience is needed and everything has to be well planned with all equipment in perfect condition, the right clothing is also vital…
It’s worth noting that the consequences of a mishap are much higher at this time of year when kayak fishing with colder air, dropping water temperatures and shorter daylight hours so experience is needed and everything has to be well planned with all equipment in perfect condition, the right clothing is also vital and a plan b, c & d must be thought out in advance in case of difficulties.
Can’t wait to do it all again in 2023 !!
Go fishing…
