What are Friends for!!

What a brilliant week Carol ,Arron and myself had at our Home in SE Ireland in our house at Shady Nook the weather was simply stunning the only thing was ,we have had loads of work to do on our house DIY got loads of stuff done more than expected,,
 in the mean time my old Buddie and bass convert turned up to see us ,,Carol and I were laid out in the Garden when a old mate of mine turned up Mick Boland we fished Bass Alley many moons ago we talked for ages in the Irish sunshine about all them memories and double figure Bass and of course the ones that got away,the memories were so vivid we had a brilliant time just chatting away and catching up on the lawn at shady nook,,
Mick and i swapped lures and ideas it must have been getting on 4yrs since we fished together since then he has become a rather tasty lure angler,,,,

Mick with a half tidy Bass some of mick marks are off the scale ,,here's another pic to wet your appetite

Superb on the AYU Xslayer on to a articulated head and 2/0 vaviras wide mouth hook

above is the Metsuki Floating 150mm seems to be a cross between a tide minnow and a Daiwa Shoreliner brilliant casting and a strong bib i was very impressed with this lure as it comes in a sinking version too and the best bit is all for around £10 pounds delivered i paid £32 for three ands here's the other one 130mm sinker with Owner Trebles
