Back from the Trip!

Well, I am back. I feel a little depressed right now. As usual, hours spent on the water with no significant catches. I had blog follower emailing me wishing luck for my trip but I am going to disappoint them.
Sorry for not being able to tell you a nice fishing catch story "again". However I had the chance to play with some new tackle and lures.  These 3 days have allowed me to test my new equipment and I will spend the rest of the week updating the blog with some reviews.
What did I test?  Here is a short preview:

Tackle:
Custom St. Croix Rod
Nissin Atlas LG LRF rod
0.4 PE  YGK X3 Soul Line
Elf 2000S reel
LSD Designs Tackle Hip Bag

Lures:
Seaspin Mommotti 180
Tide Minnow 90F
Bay Rauf Manic 115
Tetra Works Bivi
Tetra Works Toto 42
Storm Flutter Stick 5cm
Seaspin Pro-Q 120
Smith Super ULM
Skagit Design Jet Bait


In the meantime some cool photos:

A great DUO of lures!

My fishing ground. Poor of catches.

Great combo: Mommotti 180 + new custom rod + LSD hip bag

The Toto 42 has shown some great potential.

By the way, do you like the new layout? I had to change a little bit because the right column was getting too crowded. Please let me know your feedback. Thanks.

Preparing for the Trip Part I

Finally this weekend I will take a 3 day fishing trip in the Aegean Sea. I haven't cast a lure in a while so I am super excited about this trip coming in a few days. This evening I took out my lure boxes and start to pick those that I consider essential for this trip. I will be aiming at seabass, Leerfish and probably some barracuda. I expect to use topwater and shallow runner lures plus some LRF lures for gars and horse mackerel. This is one of the boxes I will take with me. You can notice mostly DUO lures : Tide Minnow, Bullet DC-9, Realis 120, Spearhead Ryuki and Larus Project.
I want to test them and review them here on my blog after the trip. I will be bringing more lures with me. The other box will include Seaspin, DUO and Tackle House lures mostly.
Wait for more info and photos soon...

A very nice blog: Braidrunner

This is a very nice and professional blog that I have discovered last week. The author is an expert angler and most important of all a great photographer. The stuff you can see on his blog is outstanding. Amazing photos and very interesting fishing articles make this blog a must "visit" for all the angler out there.
I think we need more and more blogs of this quality on the net, it just shows the artistic side of lure fishing the way that I like and always try to convey in my blog.
Very glad for this recent discovery. Please have a look:

The layout is simple yet crisp. Looks very professional.

This is a great photo take from the blog today. The setup is just as original as it gets.
The lure is a DUO Tetra Works Pocopoco F

Touching the Soul

This is a nice fly fishing trailer. I wish we could see more projects like this related to lure fishing.
Great Photography.
