MY NAME IS FISH

A gang of merciless puffer fish attack Halcyon System Chiquita Bambino lure. This on the beach where the water meets shore. Only about 10 cm deep. Here in south of Turkey (Eastern Mediterranean) puffer fish are a big problem for both local marine life and fishermen (both professional and amateur anglers) They came from Indian Ocean via Suez Canal. They attack almost everything that they can bite. The biggest lures or the smallest LRF baits, all their favourite food. Because of these nasty species people are giving up fishing. They  will destroy all your gear, from the hooks to the most expensive lines and lures or live baits. As you see in this photo, they are chasing a decent size Chiquita Bambino which I use for all kind of beach predators ( sea bass, travally, needlefish, breams etc) and attacking it even without I move it.

Bream Fishing on Lucky Craft B'freeze 48s Long Bill I've fallen in love with this little beauty when I saw in first time on a Japanese amateur fishing blog. B'freeze comes with a long bill or short bill. And in 65cm or 48cm. Both are amazing lures . They are like little naughty kids making all the adults chasing them to catch and spank. I purchased this 48s Long Bill Green Head Chart from a second hand lures seller from Japan on Ebay. I couldn't wait to test it. Finally it was delivered in a very, very windy and cold Mediterranean morning. And got in my car as soon as I opened the box and I drove to a tiny beach where pebbles and small stones cover the bottom with a bit of grass.  I had caught lots of different species of fish at this beach before but never used this type of lure for breams and sargo. Wind was blowing from the north. I couldn't get a sheltered calm place so I decided to cast over to short distance.  B'freeze Long Bill  is not a heavy l...

The Bullring in Birmingham When you walk around The Bullring in Birmingham , you will look so small. Like these people.  Because of the shape and size of the building, even very tall people still look so small. The Bullring is a must see place in United Kingdom. And interesting architecture.

DUO Spearhead Ryuki 50MDF is one of those magical lures in my tackle bag.  About 8 months ago I have introduced this amazing little minnow when I tried it first time - Spearhead Ryuki Floating Minnow For Bass and Bluegill -  in a lake in Ohio, USA. Since then I took this Spearhead Ryuki almost everywhere I have travel  ed. I caught couple of neddlefish in the sea and a a few perches in the river.  Last week finally I had a chance to try it for LRF. There was a little pebbled beach with some shallow rocky bottom. It looked perfect for my naughty minnow. Water was calm and very clear. And took only about 50 seconds.. Bammm! First Painted Comber of the day was hooked. What a fun! These painted combers are like hyperactive kids on the block. If you present them the right colour of bait, they will never say NO. You can buy this lure on here  https://ebay.us/gcwzmz  at cheapest price. Colour doesn't matter really. I own 4 different colours and all w...

I caught a big seabass on Tackle House Feed Shallow 105 Tackle House Feed Shallow 105 has become one of my favourite lures to catch seabass when the water is still and clear. It's an exciting lure. Floating but feels like sinking. It flies like a bullet over the water surface and easy to control in rough conditions, too. Needlefish love it, too. Seems they love chasing it as it has a very distinctive tail and head move. I caught these sea basses on Konoshiro colour. It's really effective in clear waters. Lure : Tackle House Feed Shallow 105cm, 16gr Rod: Daiwa Line: Kastking Masters Mono Location : A Sandy Beach at Southern Coast of Turkey (Mediterranean Sea) Catch : Cute Sea Bass
