Last club outing before the new tying season opens Sharp-Gentles Flytying Club 1st Thursday in September at Udston Bowling Club Burnbank 7:30 new members welcome.
Was a super morning until we hit Port of Mentieth but a full turn out was the order of the day,meets and greets over with,my boat partner for the day is young David Barr now going into his 3rd season,its great to see how the young club are progressing.
Was passed some craft knowledge and i get the boat suited and booted,trying out the electric outboard,off we set the charge of the light brigade,always exited and full of anticipation at this point,we are heading for the right side of the cages,the rain is now quite heavy,engine killed drogue oot 1st drift after a few casts bang fish on seconds later fish off snapped,young Davids Getting plenty of hits but nothing sticking,new cast on and changed to the floater from DI3 new cast on Candy Booby,Kingfisher Cormry,Uv Dial Back,Nothing happening up and down the shore drifts and Bang `1st fish is in the net,
This was my day for losing fish at the net 7 in total,and snapped a further 2 times was changing 2 dries back to small lures and missing fish left right and centre,managed to stick another 2 in the net,had a great time but need to get more lake practice,Young David managed to break his Duck with his 1st lake bow,that was him big grin and happy with the result,all in all just love fishing here so back up soon.
Carron Valley Masters Final Sunday 18-08-13
My fellow colegue Stewart McLlean asked me to be a boatman as he was fishing in the final,no probs i says lol.
This was my 1st visit to this 1000 acre venue,to say the least i was pretty well awe struck at its beauty and for the final the conditions were like an angry sea,Stewart Gulps And i says "Get oot and fish yer erse aff"
Some of the best rods are here today and its not long before i am getting nervous,Its all serious now as the likes of James Lister,Ken Oliver to name a few are being piped down to their boats,
I am not going to write a big bio here but to say i had an amazing experience boating for George Telford & Keir Hardie It was a pleasure with fish,exitement lost and found rods,flying drougues,and scary drifts,especially at Gull Island oooft,the guys have fished oot and head back to the mooring as the conditions are getting quite serious but the most amazing sight was to see eventual winner Ken Oliver hook into a bow in the most nasty of swells,he who dares wins and he did will sighn off here with some picks
Next week i hope to be back out on the clyde and a wee trip to Bangour with my dad,then its the Scottish International Bank Team Fundraiser Comp At New Haylie in Largs can't wait for this one sat 31st
