2018 targets

[neil cooney 10,415]

You must have some patience Lurcherman, life's too short for that craic, .

This years ambition is for most of my trout to be truly wild and most of them to be on the fly. A big bream on my local river would be nice too.

I'd just be happy if I get my boat finished and able to go fishing, catching is a by product ?

I’m hoping for a 40lb+ common and a particular 30lb mirror from one of my club lakes. Also hoping to get out sea fishing at some point this year as I’ve never been and a double figure carp on the fly is also on the cards. 

 

Currently working on getting a few more pike on lures too but that’s not as much of a target as a ‘I’ve got half an hour I’ll get out on the river’ I just keep the rod, lures and net in the boot.

40lb Common, and Mullet on the fly

Is that a hint ?

Ive got so much work to get done on the boat and so little time, I wouldn't bank on it been this year ?

 

Been sorting my lure gear out, forgot how much I had.

Haha nah it wasn’t meant as a hint ? just a target for the year as I’ve done no sea fishing at all. Even if I just get some done off the rocks or beaches etc. My new ugly Stik arrives tomorrow morning, just in time for my 4 days off. Probably get a few hours stalking with lures on the river in the afternoon ?? Need to stock up on lures again too, have all mine away years ago.

Which ugly did you buy, I've got a stack of ugly sea rods, and one lure rod as well.

 

may sell all my coarse gear, I just don't bother with it, will concentrate more on salt.

will give you a shout when the boat goes back in. You may like catching something you can eat ?

Sounds cracking, I’d love a chance to get out and do some sea fishing as I say. At the absolute minimum my goal is to get out and do some spinning from the rocks. 

It’s an ugly stik gx2 6ft spinning rod, fits my needs perfectly. Got a few other rods for heavier stuff if I need it but I wanted a small, lightweight rod with enough backbone to take a beating. Wicked rods, love em!

Your joking, I have a gx2 sat here doing nothing ?

'Get yourself on the wrecks, or some livebaiting or lures for bass, you'd love it.

Typical ? I always end up doing it. I see something shiny and I’ve gotta get it before I have a chat with people and see who’s got what about. I’m thinking tomorrow might not be on the cards at this rate though. I’ll have to drill a hole in the ice haha
