Competition fishing at the Daiwa Pairs day 1 on Ventry, West Kerry.

[@iainbickerstaff7099]

First time I've watched your videos absolutely love them keep them coming👍👍

[@Inshore_Angler]

Thanks mate I appreciate you taking the time to comment and am delighted you like them. Hopefully loads more to come in the next few months

[@colinphilpott3700]

Well done Chris. all the excitement of match fishing. Enjoyable vid.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Thanks Colin I really want to get a video of a match with bass being caught and see how that comes out

[@rippinlipsokiestyle1195]

great video! they call it fishing instead of catching for a reason it didn't go you're way and you still made the best of it keep up the hard work!

[@Inshore_Angler]

Thanks man sorry I missed your comment for so long

[@ianflood1164]

Fair play Chris. Great videos really making me want to leave the carp fishing and go back to sea fishing. Keep it up!!!

[@Inshore_Angler]

Nice one man the sea fishing always has the unknown factor. Its hard to beat

[@doniek087]

Another great video Chris. Tough day.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Thanks Dónal it was very tough but to be honest I was very happy with the performance for the last hour to get 5 gars and make it to 6th

[@markjesson7787]

Great video Chris, great info, I wanna see more! 😂 keep the competition videos coming! you’ll have your camera crew in no time man 🎣 😎😂

[@Inshore_Angler]

Lol wouldn't that be awesome. It would save me having to run around with the camera.... Some day

[@williammcdonald3293]

My favorite thing in your tackle box was the Wispa. I have to travel from Chicago to Tinley Park IL to Winston's deli in an overly populated Irish neighborhood to buy them as well as black pudding and other comforts from home then put them in a cooler, otherwise they will melt in my pickup at 95 Fahrenheit. I caught a 6-pound flathead catfish on the Kankakee River two weeks ago with a rotten chicken liver when the river was low, it's too hot right now to go fishing this weekend. I'm Coming home for a visit at the start of September might catch you on Ballyheigue strand fishing for Bass. Gar are a freshwater fish here in the states.

[@Inshore_Angler]

I believe its a bit exciting in Chicago at the moment with the Tornado warnings ⚠️. What are the fishing shops like around there? I've been to the Bass pro (Gurney Mills I think) near the city but unfortunately I wasn't allowed fill a 2nd trolley

[@williammcdonald3293]

@@Inshore_Angler My Neighborhood Mt Greenwood wasn't too bad, heavy rain 75 mph winds and frequent lightning strikes, most of the damage was up in the northern part of the city. most tackle stores here are by the state pk's and forest preserves.

[@williammcdonald3293]

@@Inshore_Angler Might catch you in Ballyheigue at the beginning of sept on the strand

[@TheBlueCassidy]

Chris which box seat are you using, the Shakespeare? Great video BTW!

[@tikatola93]

Great vid. Most important thing was that an half eaten chump bar

[@Inshore_Angler]

Ha ha its a chomp bar. I said to myself as I was filming that will look bad in the video lol. Have to fuel the body 😅😅😅

[@jamesrobertson9930]

Fantastic video really enjoyed it. Would it be worth having a quick chat about the rod and reels that you use on the day and the reasons behind it? I’d like to know and it may help the less experienced anglers that may be tuning in. Keep up the good work 👌👊

[@Inshore_Angler]

Ya it's definitely something I can work into the videos. I don't like to make it look like you have to have the best rods and reels tho to have fish. Quality of bait and rigs in the right area is the key to catching

[@jamesrobertson9930]

Chris O'Sullivan, The Inshore Angler fully agree. I was thinking more of the type of rods and reels for different type of ground, distance, scenarios etc.

[@Inshore_Angler]

@@jamesrobertson9930 ya that's definitely something that could be covered from the comfort of the house too judging by the weather we are expecting now

[@realjimmywillis]

I really want to do the Daiwa Pairs. May have to look into it next year.

[@Inshore_Angler]

It's a week of pleasure fishing drinking pints and fishing against some of the top talent in the UK and Ireland 😂 it's not for everyone 😁😁

[@bradym13]

Good man Chris 👊

[@Inshore_Angler]

Nice one Mark man how are you doing any fishing?

[@smigles9173]

Well chirst what your rod and reel setup for Lon distance casting?

[@Inshore_Angler]

At the moment for long distance here in Ireland I use a Century BB and a Shimano Aero technium 14lb line and a tapered shockleader.

[@Eoghanbass2000]

Nice vid buddy. How did the people in the preferred pegs do by comparison. Did they produce?

[@Inshore_Angler]

Some of the ones I'd of been very happy to get didn't. 6 dogs I think was the best score. It doesn't seem like much but at 60pts per fish they are way out of sight gars are about 13pts each so you have to play smart

[@PondsSoloFishing]

The prep work for these tournaments is crazy. I will never be enough of a morning person to compete. I can fish but not with intelligence early in the morning.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Lol the prep has to be done in the days before. I have stayed up real late preparing everything and then was too wrecked to think when I got to the comp. Some lads are still drunk at the smaller comps or really hungover lol

[@PondsSoloFishing]

@@Inshore_Angler this is why I prefer adventure or bank fishing... no boat so I can drink while I fish. Nothing like being drunk and lost in a forest.

[@Inshore_Angler]

@@PondsSoloFishing lol ya it's the right job. Nothing like a nice beer and some fishing.

[@cormacbarry8273]

Great stuff Chris , what rig were you using to catch the gars?

[@Inshore_Angler]

I was using a long 2 hook flapper to target the gars thankfully the mackerel left it alone

[@bhfishing8572]

Well the lucky hat worked 😁

[@Inshore_Angler]

Lol the lucky hat really shone on day 2 where I managed to win the zone and ended up 2nd in a tie breaker with my partner.

[@SpiralMoss]

All your old videos are coming up as recommendation, maybe you'll be on the telly next. 👍👍👍

[@Inshore_Angler]

That would be cool. If I ever get rich from it I'm gonna buy a big charter boat and take lads out for the craic and video all the fishing

Hi could u do a video on gar fish rigs at some point please Iv fished the Irish pairs with the commercial sac club and thinking of fishing it again u fished with my mate Ben I think

[@Inshore_Angler]

Hi Dale mate I certainly can do a gar rig. I have some footage from last year so could try get it all together. In another few weeks I should be able to catch a few too. Ya fished with Ben it will be great to have the commercial lads back at the pairs

[@dalehewitt1651]

Chris O'Sullivan, The Inshore Angler that’s great cheers Chris might even bring my kayak over and go for some big pollock etc 👍

[@Inshore_Angler]

That would be class. I've never fished off a kayak but will definitely have to knock it off the list of things to try out. Drifting along the cliff faces targeting pollack would be awesome

[@lukehanafin8678]

What do you use for dogfish

[@Inshore_Angler]

Hi Yvonne Dogfish have very poor vision but very good sense of smell. Mackerel and sandeel are my favourite baits for them but when they are hungry they will eat anything

[@lukehanafin8678]

@@Inshore_Angler so a makerel Sandeel wrap
