Text of the page (random words):
o be had i started to get action in every available swim with fish banked and missed takes sometimes your not bothered missing takes and loosing fish as it all adds to the action and excitement this was great fun and just what i needed however just as i was settling into some much needed winter sport i could feel a headache coming on it got worse and within an hour and a halves fishing i was starting to feel worse for wear i nearly threw up my head was insane with pain checking out me with a rap innit it was too much to bear feeling i was going to pass out so had to call it a day i could not believe my luck after banking 11 fish in such a short space of time at this time of year with the possibilities of carrying on the action and i had to cut it short such bad luck i enjoyed the flurry of fish i did manage though so it was still worth the unexpected opportunity to fish i fished one of my new and improved flash flies i love this fly and i had a few suggestions from my mate martin from mscustomflies on how to improve it further one thing it was missing was a wider more natural profile this was lost as i like to nip my eyes on hard with epoxy to make them bomb proof but in doing so i flattened the profile marts suggestions improved this however and i even incorporated a rattle posted by unknown at 08 27 9 comments tuesday 20 january 2015 adapting for changing conditions ive been out a few times just recently so thought i d save it till i had a bit more to talk about before blogging every year our fishing is dictated by the changing conditions and it seems to get worse each year with more colour in our waters i wanted to try and build a bit of confidence for fishing in colour because usually your heart sinks when you get on the bank and faced with horrible colour i ve fished in the past allot in colour with mixed results but usually its very tough fishing if you think about it it shouldn t rule out much chance of catching because pike still feed in pitch black obviously the quality of sport is greatly reduced because your lacking the visual side of things but its not the end of a session so i ve not had chance to go out exploring too much due to time limitations so have had to stick with venues that are probably the worse for colour than allot of other options thats good for trying things out but rubbish when you want to get on better venues with better chances of catching if that s all that is accessible though its perfect fodder for getting to grips with getting better results in those worst of conditions i had the usual things in mind which was to fish slower closer to the bottom black or really flashy lures lures with vibration weedless lures for fishing along the bottom etc results came but it was bloody hard work often covered in mud freezing cold and nearly blown off your feet i was starting to get a bit fed up as it just felt like i was putting allot of effort in with not allot of reward and it was frustrating not being able to fish where i would have liked i was catching the odd fish here and there which wasn t bad given the conditions but i wanted some better sport i tried bouncing lures along the bottom with weedless crays the trouble with that is i didn t have the right weight weedless hooks that i needed to fish effectively plus i d prefer a much bigger lure to give a bigger more visible target i m thinking of making my own big weedless softplastics to try this theory out i caught a couple on spinnerbaits which makes sense and i caught a few on my shads which were not the best lure for the job really i caught on a black one though on a last cast in very cloudy water after going through many other lure types colours which was satisfying i then started to think about it a bit more and realised there was one method i had been missing and that was fly in theory i can imagine fly has the potential to totally obliterate lures the trouble with allot of lure types is that they sink so you have to keep working them to prevent them hitting bottom or snagging etc this means often you will be working lures at a varying speed the trouble with that is that at this time of year pike are hard on the bottom more often than not i would think they will not be prepared to tear off and chase after something if its moving too fast also with the heavy colour if you work too fast your not giving the fish a chance to see sense or catch up with your lure so what does fly offer well you can fish them much slower often even pausing them and just letting them suspend you can just imagine a pike sat on the bottom with a fly slowly undulating over its head i bet it would be hard to resist such an easy meal giving it more thought my theories also fitted in with a few lads i know that have been catching recently firstly a mate is catching quite consistently on fly but a few lads have also been catching on squirrely burts the thing about burts that got me thinking is that they enable you to pause giving the fish more chance add to that the enticing nature of the grub tail fluttering away it kind of matches the appeal of what a fly would offer i have plans to make my own pull baits similar to burts but not got round to it yet so i thought i d get out and give the fly theory a go i can t really conclude anything from my session on the fly because the conditions were pretty bad obviously it was bad conditions i was trying to get to grips with but these conditions were the worst id fished recently so wouldn t be fare to compare these results to previous sessions where the conditions were bad enough but not as bad i chose a same venue despite not doing very well on it previously this was on purpose i wanted something to compare despite the degraded conditions and not expecting to do very well anyway i still had two fish on which was quite surprising a great result but still early days to say whether or not the fly made the difference or not and lastly i often get photos which i don t use mainly for one reason or another there crap but i was bored so played around with a few recent crappy photos and came up with some nice images a bit like graphic art style posted by unknown at 12 19 2 comments tuesday 6 january 2015 a new year begins as much as i love christmas i m always glad when its out the way and i m back into a routine family stuff and kids being off school make it difficult for me to get out and to be honest if theres any time to give fishing a little rest and spend more time with the family its at christmas i was glad to get out in the new year anyway after not really getting out much at all in the past 4 5weeks maybe just a handful of times monday was to be a half days fishing even though the kids were not back at school until today you cannot beat that feeling of a fish on knowing its your first of the year and the start of hopefully another good one i managed 3 pike in difficult conditions so i was really pleased with that a couple of low doubles and a jack to start me off was brilliant all fish caught on my 7 shad too still unable to put them down i wasn t going to fish today but with rain forecast for the rest of the week i thought i d make the most of that small window we seem to get allot of at the minute usually it times wrong and rivers come up just before your due to fish the conditions were not great with only 6 visibility but this was a fresh year and i hadn t been out much so i wasn t going to let my confidence wain over clarity it was just about getting out again and chucking some lures i did ok in the end with 5 fish and a couple of misses even better when i bumped into some deadbaiters and a couple of lure anglers who had all caught zilch a new year off the mark and i have so many plans this year so allot to look forward to but for now i m just enjoying a bit more consistent fishing time happy new year sick of hearing that now posted by unknown at 09 36 no comments sunday 28 december 2014 rod testing got out today to try out the rod ive been modifying and mentioned previously the rod is a savagear butch light 50 80g 8 6 and i wanted a longer handle as i have long arms and wanted the butt to rest along side my ribs and not the butt end digging into them so i extended the handle by about 3 4 and also added about 35g right in the butt to balance it better i gave it a test last week with some duplon grips just pushed on but on christmas eve i had time to fully build the handle first off all i tried to match the gold of the blank above the fore grip but it didn t look right so i went to wipe it off while still wet and it left me with a really nice effect i liked the custom look of of it so decided to leave it i went for duplon behind the reel seat for comfort and added a trim ring of dark cork the butt was turned in cork i went for cork because the butt would be sat under my arm allot and cork would be much more durable than duplon that is prone to ripping and marking easily i made the butt quite slim to also make it more comfortable when tucked under arm and finished it off with a couple of rings of composite cork to cap it off to protect the end finished with a black thread and silver trim onto the fishing well i was up early looking to make the most of it and out in the sub zero conditions it was the first time id felt id needed gloves and even with those on my finger tips where painful i always wear surgical gloves under other gloves to protect from getting wet when using baitcasters as they can spray water all over your hands i m not one for wearing gloves and never wear them unless i know i ll be in pain as its just not worth being uncomfortable when fishing the fishing was quite tough to be honest and i didn t expect any less given the temperatures but i was always hoping for something big to show up but sadly it didn t i managed 3 pike which keeps me in the fish and away from any blanks but it felt like i put allot more effort in than i got out in reward chuffed to bits with the rod though it does and is exactly what i wanted for throwing my shads on which i fished with today and caught on only trouble is now i ve developed a problem and that s the feeling of needing to use my shads because ive made them it will be difficult to fish with other lures at the minute not so much a bad thing if there catching for you but if i had varied things up a bit i might have caught more finding a lure that they wanted posted by unknown at 09 08 no comments tuesday 23 december 2014 all work and no play ive been pretty busy recently and just not been able to get out fishing for many reasons its not often i go a week without fishing but this month i think ive only fished twice so i was pretty keen to get out this week for a few hours before christmas came i ve been pouring more shads and wanted to try some out along with another rod project i wanted to test i ve been wanting a longer rod ooer for awhile now for chucking my 7 shads amongst other things i wanted a longer rod to help reach over the margins on the bigger rivers sometimes due to the quite dangerous banks you can be perched on a mound further up the bank unable to get low enough to the water but still within netting distance a long rod help with this amongst other things like control and casting distance i think it also feels better with a fish hooked on a longer rod another requirement i had was for a longer handle from the reel seat to the butt i have quite long arms and find the butt can by right in my ribs at times which is not comfortable i was looking about for the ideal rod blank when a mate offered me a savagear butch light xlnt 30 80g and at 8 6 it certainly fitted the bill i thought i d take a punt on it and had plans to re build the handle anyway as it turned out the handle did need to be longer so i extended it by 3 4 which sat right under my arm and left comfortable i got to try the rod out the other day along with some new poured shads if the rod suited what i wanted it for my plan was to order the parts to complete the handle i was a bit dubious whether or not i d catch and having gone so long without fishing its surprising how the confidence wains not to mention your updated knowledge of venue conditions i find when your fishing regularly you build up a kind of mental note of conditions on different venues and you can near enough guess what they will be like after differing weather but i had no clue what was going on out there as id not been out enough the river were still going to be a bit of a chance but what the hell i was just glad to get out i was chuffed to bits when i got a fish on and was already enjoying the rod alone which did everything i wanted it to do for the job in hand i ended up with 3 pike to scraper double size which was enough to keep me happy until next time some more natural patterns experimenting with subtle multiple pours i ve also been trying some foil inserts as shown below which should give off lots of flash and at the bottom some of my 4 shad with mylar tubing inserts still enjoying it and finding it addictive the trouble now is using other lures as you always tend to favour your own when you make them and catch on them but i don t suppose theres anything wrong in that posted by unknown at 08 21 no comments wednesday 17 december 2014 no fishing well my fishing has really ground to a halt i was quite hungry to get out this week but my mrs car broke down so until we get that sorted we are down to one car which she needs for work i m hoping i get it back in the next day or so as i m desperate to get out before christmas in the meantime i ve been doing a few more shads and have done some really nice colours the pearl effects don t show on the photos but they look really nice posted by unknown at 07 53 1 comment older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me unknown view my complete profile my fly caught species list archive 2015 4
