My fishing buddy went to the Northern part and was told the best fishing was in the South of the Island all year round. The North gets good in their summer months.

Adam F Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Dont know about Bone fishing - but do about fly. I suspect you will need a faily heavy set up - possibly a 6-7 weight? I have fly tackle you are welocme to borrow if you go - but to be honest the cost of it nowdays (20 quid for a travel fly rod) and the likely hood of me lending you one and it getting snapped in transit (airport) is highly likely. You really need to learn to cast first if you are thinking of having a go. Im happy to give you a few pointers when i bring my Aux over if you like?

Paul J Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Mike, Adams right, Learning to cast first is a must. You will need to be up to it physically cause it's quite a strain on the wrists when you first start out. I will endevour to get you out somewhere to have a bash- time is the problem ( perhaps a couple of hours in the evening mid next week? Adam im sure your up for it? When are you going on Holiday? Graham at Davis tackle can give you some insight into bone fishing- There a website section called bonefish adventures linked to Davis tackle- sorry don't know exact web address cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your offer is brilliant and I should be able to fit into any timing that suits you. MOst things I've learnt I have taught myself, but there are a few basic 'starter' questions like ...... When one is told one needs a #6 or a #7 weight rod what does this mean in the terms of the rod? Ditto reel and line Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Bit hectic for the next 2 weeks, Alderney etc. 2nd week in May - 1 eve - its a date! Paul J and I may even take you for a spot of Mullet fishing if you get the hang of it! Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Adam, I shall have to dig out the fly rod too and tag along with you two. I have a total of two weeks fly fishing practlce...... Tried to fly fish for mullet some 4 - 5 years ago and had no luck + 1 week "salmon" fishing in Scotland ( long story ). Presumably the mullet fishing is not in the purely CAC waters, but in that shallow part near Stanpit whose name I cannot remember and near the bridge ??
