Summer is not gone yet...

This weekend we went to find some big winter fish.
The sea was very quite and pretty low, it was Youri's second time lure fishing out, so I gave him my summer ultralight set. I have started with topwaters myself, this new toy by ZipBaits, Fakie dog 70 DS is just fantastic. This dog just walks itself. But that day there were no clients for my dog.
Youi cought the firs bream and I was sure that the crazy guy just doesn't know it's winter, but then came another guy and another... So I have switched to zome Zipbaits Riggie 40 MDR, this old guy started working immidiately bringing bream from every hole in the reef.
At least summer is still here, these breams are great fish...

Carp rods test

It is famous to believe among carpfisherman on less successfull days, that they are not getting to the fish. They believe that they need to cast just a bit farther...
And so they buy all those new extra distance rods that appeare lately on the market. On weekends their wives don't allow them to go fishing they go casting somewere closer to thir house.
Two of those crazy carpfisherman are very good friends of mine. I've bought a new superwide lens Canon EF-S 10-22 F3.5-4.5 and so it was my opportunity to test it past saturday.

A one I just found somewhere in my archive...

Early morning on Engeleni Lodge, Drakensburg, SA

Streams of north

This friday we've finally got to check the Jordan river stocks.

At the place we were supposed to wade, the water was too high and I even got a little water flown over in my waders.

We've seen no signs of fish at all this time.

It was strange, as usually it is the best season for our barbel this time of year.

Tho days later we went to check out some smaller stream in the north. It is heavilly used for irrigation and so the water is pretty low untill 9.00 am,and the flow is mild.

Lots of smalscale barbel taking zak nymph at the shallow places.

I have seen some biger ones at deeper places, but none of us did not manage to get hold of one untill the water had risen. And then it was just cut, not a single bite at all.

The weather acting strange this year, we had some rains in september which is very unusual, and the water is pretty high in the rivers. Maybe October will bring some bigger barbel.

Bat Yam walk

Bat Yam is a small city near Tel Aviv, the beach there has lots of rocks.
The place is very heavily fishing pressed, but on the weekends I'm on call I can't go any feathere that this.
The sea today was really high, waves hight did not suggest walking on the riffs, but I'v tried...
A good Locus below was my reword, and later I was washed off by a big wave, it was quite scary.
Dual Hardcore SH 50 was working just perfectly,very intensively playing in the rough sea.
It seems as a universal lure for different fish, the only place you can't use it is flats with depths of below half a meter.
So after all it was a succeffsull day out.
