Nice to hear from you again Vinnie. Thanks for the video. I like making things myself. Fifty years ago I watched my dad wrapping line around feathers on a hook in a vice, was a pleasant memory to see that again. I guess it sounds odd but thanks for that as well.
Vinnie this video was a great way to enjoy my Saturday morning coffee! Thank you for the great demonstrations, and I hope you have an awesome weekend. Cheers!
I was happy when I saw the Vice. I haven't bought one of the "normal" vices because I don't tie that many. I use to small pieces of metal to grab the hook to bring it out further.
Great tips Vinnie! ... No brute force & ignorance needed here. (darn! lol) having some old Christmas tree tinsel stuffed away in an old box somewhere, I may just give the tinsel tasers a go! Granted, I have all winter to get it right. I'll have to use super glue to secure it, since unlike some other guys I know, don't have fingernail polish😚😂 Great video my friend! They definitely attract fish... Hope those little fellas out there grow up big & strong so you can catch them in the future!!! 🙏✌️
Another first class video vinnie. The lures worked lovely I really like these videos you film from the kayak I find them so interesting and relaxing to watch some beautiful shots of the coast it really is a stunning place you live I must make the time to visit Ireland it's a special place. Well vinnie you take care till next time. 👍👍👍. Oh by the way that's a very impressive collection of nail varnish you have there my friend makes me quite envious. LOL.👍👍👍.
I love exploring in the kayak Gary. There is a sense of freedom in a boat or a kayak. I suppose you have to depend on yourself and your get away from everything. Er, I was just experimenting with the nail polish?
@@vinniesdayoff3968 yeah vinnie 👍 staying in Edinburgh i have been thinking about trying for mackerel at Granton Harbour no excuses now as i know how to make the rig lol
Nothing nicer to me than fresh caught mackerel, I am not much of a fish eater but mackerel is good. I am a terrible fisherman but find the gear interesting, particularly the knots. The dry cat food I buy comes in tough foil bags with dark printing on one side and bright silver on the inside, I imagine that would be usable for lures. I was looking at a Tempo the other day in Decathlon sports, less than €500, time to start saving to have one for next Spring.
I couldn't eat mackerel before Chris because I used to eat it with the skin on. It's a completely different fish without the skin. 500 Euro is a great price for that Tempo. I just looked it up and it's 895 Euro here. I reckon the cat food bag would work admirably
Vinnie, you are truly the Malcolm Douglas of Ireland! Big fish? tropical waters mate! I only hope the young woman whose nail polish you used doesn't subscribe to your channel like the rest of us or you'll be in for it :-)
Well I meant bigger fish than the tadpoles I was catching Steve 🙂I haven't got Malcolm's presence but I can try. It's handy having women in the house so it is 🙂 I had this video made for a while. I'll give you a shout out in the next one.
Looks like they worked well. Interesting tip with the figure eight. Using more than one hook is illegal here, unless it is a trap line and then you need a trapping license. Usually they use some baits with the hooks.
Totally get your sentiments on catching those small fish... in my old age I've begun to feel much worse about intentionally catching a fish that I know I will let go, than I do about shooting a deer that I know I will eat.
Fresh mackerel takes some beating. Last time you took us fishing you used a homemade hand line Vinnie, I made one after seeing that and have had one in my car ever since, just in case like! Do you favour the rod in the kayak?
I'm a kayaker that fishes rather than a kayak fisherman if that makes sense Jim. I will often just throw a handline in the pocket just so I can catch something if there are fish about. I like the rod too and I often use a single spinner rather than feathers with the rod. But to answer your question about a seven foot or so rod works very well on the kayak
@@vinniesdayoff3968 that's a good tip about the rod Vinnie, have you ever tried fly casting on the kayak? I've wanted a fishing kayak for years and I got one for Christmas, so I'm really looking forward to the vaccine taking effect and getting out on the water this summer
Hey Vinnie you would not get me on that dam thing i like something with sides can't swim was near drowned when was i will be fishing from shore. Yes proper churned butter
A good buoyancy aid or life jacket is my advice Macartan. I used to wear the basic life jacket for a long time and it's worth trying one out. You just bob around like a cork even in rough water. I love my little kayak
I only have one question, did you have tanned leopard print spots on your feet at the end of the day lol it’s nice to see you again, hope you’re doing well.
