Jeremy Wade - My Inspiration

Jeremy Wade with a large catfish he caught in India

Jeremy John Wade is a British television presenter and author. He is known for his television series River Monsters and Jungle Hooks.
The reason I'm making a post for him is because he is my idol, I have been watching him for many years and he has inspired me to fish and to do what I do. I would love to follow in his foot steps one day and become as successful at fishing at he is.
If any of you watch his show you will understand how dedicated to what he does, overcoming fears and on occasions he fishes for months to get results. One episode he fishes for months to catch a gigantic Gooch catfish in India. If you haven't watched it then I suggest you tune in on Animal Planet to one of the most successful programmes they have shown

A Day On Rosbeigh

We woke up to a crisp frosty morning. Our plan was to go fishing for an hour or two. We gathered all the gear and got the bait. Mum had a new rod that she was looking forward to trying it out. It was a Conoflex flatie quiver tip. She also got a new reel.

We decided to go to Rossbeigh Beach- this is a long spit of sand , beach and dunes, about 2 km from Glenbeigh village. Accredited with the blue flag status this beach is excellent for many water sports and fishing 

 When we arrived there was snow on the mountain but we knew straight away there was fish there. While mom and dad were getting ready and sorting their gear out I was getting mine ready. I carried all my gear down to the edge of the water. Oisin came down next to me so I helped set him up first. After I cast his bait out I set up mine. Then Mom and Dad came down. They cast out and within five minutes they caught fish. Dad got a nice 30 cm Flounder.

 Suddenly my rod rattled a little bit I brought it in and there was a small fish on it. After that I caught one a bit bigger.

 Mom christened her rod with a flounder, in total she caught 5 and Dad caught 6. The best fish of the day was a 50 cm Sea Trout caught by Mom.

 The day was a very good one and I enjoyed it. I have a competition there on the 14th of February and I hope it will fish just as good.

Tralee Bay Sea Angling Club

I'm a member of Tralee Bay Sea Angling Club. We have some top anglers in the club. I have been in the club for three years. In that time I have learned a lot of tricks from some of the other members for example I have learned about bait presentation, what fish is attracted to what bait, how to cast comfortably, where the fish will be hunting and what rigs I should use in what weather.
 Tralee Bay  SAC is part of the I.F.S.A [Irish, Federation, Sea, Angling]. The club was founded in 1958. It has it's headquarters in Fenit, Co. Kerry. Last year for the first time we had Tag a Ray weekend in May it was great crack and gave me a chance to catch my first ray. Also they have lots of competitions.

We fished our first competition of the year on Sunday on Fenit Pier, the weather was so bad and blew in our face for 4 solid hours, with no fish for me. I was understandably upset, as any other angler will know 'a blank ' is the worst thing. Not a good start to the year for me, but we still have 11 to go.
