Sea Trout

Take a look at these stunning little lures from megabass the sw beat gg akakin and the baycat. The bay cay is the smaller of the two pictured just above, it is just 68mm long but weighs 6.5 grams, basically this equals castability. I am about to give these two a serious going over in the hunt for big sea trout. Unfortunately I have had little time this year to devote to these beautiful fish but tonight that is about to change, the weather is good, winds light, small tide and so hopes are high. I love these fish, i love that they do your head in, they are by no means easy to hook and once you hook them they are even more difficult to land. If you loose the cool for one second (incredibly hard not to if you hook a decent trout) then they are gone.

The sw beat is another little cracker, it measures jut 80mm and weighs 11.5g, again castibility, it has an interesting scoop taken out of the lip which alters the action and makes it more erratic. I have no doubt that both these lures will catch bass also, in fat at this time of year when the water can be full of fry and the bass get preoccupied with scooping up mouth fulls I reckon these two will come into their own.

The top picture gives you some idea as to why i work my ass off all the time, trying to stay on top of what is hot and what is not in lure fishing takes more work than you might think. There is however a definite up turn in the numbers of Irish guys getting involved, interested, and hooked on lure fishing. I say "good stuff" the more the merrier, anglers could not do in a season indeed five seasons the damage done by netters in a week. The more responsible anglers and I don't use that word lightly, the better as their presence makes it increasingly hard for illegal fishing to take place.

Note the healthy living! Coffe, Coke and Fags, the go to breakfast for any angler worth his salt! Quality! (don't forget the occasional red bull)
