West Waterford 26th & 27th June

Got my new Torque at beginning of month. Main reason to target bass. These fish are very wary and hard to get near in shallow water in a boat and yet they can be out of the shore anglers reach.

Friday was the big test. Headed out on Friday. Glided along at a low speed casting up and down the bank. After a while I noticed terns about 600M diving down..... BASS Headed out and cast into shoal. On 1st cast had 3 hits and landed one . Shoal moved and again I went in search of them. Landed 2 more . Saw terns again and joined them. Landed 2 more and lost 2. The Torque did not disturb the bass.

On Saturday it was very sunny. Several angles were fishing form the rocks. I cruised up and down casting toward the rocks. Didn't expect anything. Low and behold I saw a silver bass charging at the lure and bang. I was pulled around by it. After a great fight he was landed . A pollock soon followed. Then I broke the rod trying to pull the lure out of a rock.

As regards the kayak it is good but Ocean Kayaks will need to improve it. First of all it is aimed at fishermen and yet there are no rod holders. Secondly, the connection that were given to me for the battery had to be bolted on and off. I think at the price a few croc clips should be provided.
