David Norman of Angling Adventures West Cork reports from West Cork…
Had a great trip with Colorado resident Lance Elmshaeuser. I juggled the limited dates he had available to give us the best chance of getting the trip done and in the end we had more than enough time, but other challenges presented themselves! The heat of the previous days meant that as we met in the morning the coastline was cloaked in fog, with even a mist of rain falling, but more importantly the sea was calm…
Having gone through the final briefings we went afloat and paddled to the first location as Lance got used to his new ride and I pointed out what could be seen through the mist. We found fish through experimentation and by moving from spot to spot with some of the bigger pollack needing teamwork to get them up from the depths and one (New) rod failing prematurely under load!
As the trip progressed the sun burnt off the fog to reveal the stunning West Cork coastline in all it’s glory, which must have been a highly memorable vista for Lance considering he lives 20 hrs drive away from the US Coastline…
On the way back in, after a longer than usual trip due to the now ideal conditions, we found Sandeel shoals dispersed across a wide area, which we were able to watch through the crystal clear waters of the bay and explained the wider than normal distribution of the fish in that area…
