more of the same. Red Bay 15th Jan

#1 Post by chuckaroo »

People: billy no mates

Duration: 2hours+

Tide: high

Weather: a fine day. 6C. little breeze. sunny intervals

Rigs: spinner and fly

Results: nothin too exciting

Report:
the aul boy said "it'd founder ye out there", but i decided to shrug this advice off and hit the coast as i knew it was a fine day that couldnt be passed up.
arrived at a mark that i fished a few weeks ago and where had got a lot of coleys, but this time round there werent as many about. managed 2 on the spinner and 1 on the fly, missed and lost several more.
after an hour or more i cut my losses and headed to the beach nearby to see what was about, hoping for flounder. but after 45mins i realised i had to face the blank here, it was getting dark
think im going to have to put some miles in or try and get out on a boat next time!
was nice to be out all the same. twas a lovely day for it :)
few pics of a few flies i tied below too. was targeting the flounder on these wee sandhopper shrimp-type patterns and also on small boobies.
im still very keen to find a mark that reliably produces decent flounder in close, in the North ??

Lovely pics as usual chuck, like looking through a quality book. I think your best bet IMO would be the Roe Valley at the railway bridge in May/June especially with the abundance of shrimp there and can be very productive for good Flounder on a hot day I find, also maybe pick up a Trout too. If I get a chance tomorrow I might head to a spot for Flounder and if I have any success I will pm you with the details as it would be very suitable for what you are doing.
