If your unsure about how do i stop at the right time, tie on the bombarda without your trace, whack out a few casts to fresh the line lie on your reel, then next cast wind in a few turns place some electrical tape/masking tape over the line just a 1/2 inch to inch tab not some massive wind of tape its justt to indicate a point ,then wind in. now tie on your leader then cast as the line reaches short of your max range youll see the tape and know to check your cast and help turn over the leader length, till your used to using it then you'll get the feel for checking and turning over a leader and fly from a fixed spool reel and you can stop using the tape check.

I can make the translucent bombardas come to the surface just by working it a bit faster during the retrieve so I don’t use the white ones. I can’t really comment on which one has a better catching performance.

@PiscatorUK-Fishing

Hi Julz, I like and prefer the 20gram bombarda especially for casting

Brilliant video what size bombarder are using I’ve just bought 2 at 25g and I’m causing pretty big splash and causing a wake on the retrieve which I’m guessing will put them off any advise please tight lines

@PiscatorUK-Fishing

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dave, the 25gram is what I use. The bombarda being close or on the surface is common. Usually caused by to fast a retrieve or jerking to fast. Try a slower retrieve and working it slower. You can also try retrieve and pause by stopping the retrieve the bombarda will sink a few feet again. If there’s a bit of chop on the water I haven’t had an issue catching fish when there’s a wake behind the bombarda. Same with the splash of the float on the water, I usually cast well beyond the fish, which are usually closer in the shallower water. When the float hits the clip try and use the action of the rod to absorb the the impact. A big splash could be caused by the float falling from a higher higher, maybe try a lower trajectory cast. Hope the helps mate, tight lines. Just one question on rigging the float, is the tail of the float at the leader swivel or the bulb? Ie when you’re retrieving the float does it come in tail first?

Hello Piscator question about fishing with the bombarda what is +- the casting weight of the rod for example can you also use a federrod to fish with the bombarda the advantage of the federrod is that you ussually have a few tips with it so you can exchange more for more or less hardness in the top i would like to receive your response greetings Willem

Hi Willem, yes you can use a feeder rod, I would recommend using a stiff tip. I have just started using the Shakespeare Omni class feeder rod 11ft for the bombarda. It has a casting weight 15-60 gram and I use the 2oz tip. As the feeder rod is purposely build for fresh water, I would recommend whashing it in fresh water after using in the sea or estuaries otherwise the rod guides will corrode quickly.

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing I thought so I head to Oban again in two weeks. The last time I went was in September 2021 and the lochs were full of some nice sea trout. But finding who has the rights is impossible to find. The only info I got was just tell anyone you’re fishing for pollock but I’d rather fish legal.

@slopestyleuk maybe try and ask some tackle shops up that way, they may be able to point you in the right direction. Tight lines mate🎣💪🏻

Why on earth did you give the location out , it will be busier than Blackpool every week now

Its heaving with mackeral bashers all the time. It's LLAIA permitted water fir seatrout so anyone fishing fir silver tourists without a permit is doing so wrongly. I went down this week with a mate and caught over 50 mackeral on the fly sometimes x2 at a time using the fly rod. Good fun on the fly even if not the target species.

I was up at rhu today and had a cast and a hot beef tea off the gas stove. Whole thing was spoiled by a woman with two out of control dogs off the lead- through my gear etc. I'd seen them approach and shouted to take care as I had hooks line etc. The got right to me and then she asked what I had like sharp stuff etc. I told her that's what I'd been telling her. I'm not against folk exercising dogs etc but if they won't obey you get them on a bloody lead. Another single dog did the same so I gave up. If they'd just be responsible we could all share the place! A fiver in fish bait wasted for selfish clowns

Thanks for the update Fraser, I’ve not had any issues at Rhu before but have had issues on other beaches. Dogs eating my bait and peeing on my gear, so I do know where your coming from and yes it can sometimes spoil a day out, especially when the dog eats most of your bait. What was your tactics for fishing there?

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing I was trying out a new 12 ft rod using a float and mackerel strips but I didn't really get enough time to have a good go. I think I will wait until the end of April and go early in the morning to avoid the dogs.
