28 gram savage gear seekers have been very good for me this year around east cork. These seem a favorite of the sea trout and bass Evo bass lure sabre in the 150 is also excellent (white or charzar) and they also entice the odd pollock etc. I like the black minnow in the natural colours too .always seem to save a blank on those I find the heavier minnows better 20gram upwards. 42 gram sandy andys in pink are another great lure if conditions are bright Statistics: Posted by eastcorkangler — Wed Nov 08, 2023 3:53 pm ..read more

It takes a while to find your bass mark. Kinda tough to get this info in a public forum. Its a lot of experience and failure before you find your best and favorite marks. I'd say try it yourself or join a group or get tips from your local tackle shops. Tight lines! Statistics: Posted by simplywabs — Sun Aug 20, 2023 12:56 pm ..read more

Funny you should say that.Was over on Inishmore a few weeks ago and the reverse was happening.Loads of small pollack plucking at the lure but only hooked up maybe 1 in 5 bites where as the biggest fish I caught that weekend hammered the lure.Caught 3 pollack to about 6 pounds and a very nice 8 maybe 8 and a half pound fish.It just goes to show fishing is not a exact science. .Tight lines.

Your welcome - during my fishing escapades, I have noticed (may be the way I'm fishing it) that big pollack close to the shore can be a bit tentative. Over the last year or so, the really big ones I've caught, 5/6 lbs range, follow it for a while, gently nipping at it. The smaller/medium sized ones are more obliging, executing a seagull like swoop Statistics: Posted by roryodonnell — Thu Jun 29, 2023 11:25 am ..read more

Hi Rory.Thanks for the advice will take that on board.But since I’ve started using Weedless savage gear V2 sandells I don’t use metals that often.With these I can work them right in close to the kelp and very rarely lose a lure. Statistics: Posted by ESC+RC — Thu Jun 29, 2023 10:46 am ..read more

The Spro metal (3rd down on the right) works great for me. I do recommend changing your hooks for 1 or 1/0 singles. The pollack are usually amongst the kelp and having a single hook, pointed up, is great away of avoiding snags when you're searching the depth's Statistics: Posted by roryodonnell — Mon Jun 26, 2023 12:11 pm ..read more

Hi, I've been making homemade lead pour lures for a couple years now but can't seem to get a successful colour/seal on rhem so just use them lead grey. I'd like to add fish skin or shimmer then a clear coat, can anybody recommend what they use? Statistics: Posted by spindlefist — Sun Mar 19, 2023 6:47 pm ..read more
