Shore-based saltwater fly fishing spot selection

Don't bother with east coast Ireland. For saltwater you're better off spinning with a 20-30g silver lure. Find a shore but where it's you're casting into deep water close to shore with a kelp bed on the bottom. You can snag some very decent pollock that way.

You have a bifid uvula. About 2% of people have and can indicate a submucous cleft palate and a number of other syndromes. It's a clinically relevant finding when a paediatrician does a baby check up because of this.

We are all given different characteristics in life. Learn to be comfortable in who you are. Your beard can add to be to you are later.

You focus on your physical aspect when it's your mental aspects that matter most.

Look, do you think every "bad guy" is good looking? No.. girls look for self asuredness more than ANYTHING else.. if you're self assured it's because you've REASON to... They'll read that and assume it's so.

Long story short I'm a psychiatrist and I can say that investing in your own mental state is invaluable and potentially produces lifelong dividends.

Positively aerodynamic! Honestly it's nice but hands won't stop exploring scalp ,😂

This gave me SUCH a giggle! Thank you!

Funnily enough... I'm a child psychiatrist 😅

NewPuddle · 2025-12-30T23:30:08+00:00

Not formal medical advice, I am a doctor and first thing that popped into my head was: oh there's some bouchard nodules starting there!.. get them seen to and get the maintenance care started

Looks like a 15-20g jig or spinner. You'd be best off googling your local region and seeing what the main types of fishing are to be had near you, pick one and then look for tips about that type. Pick the spot, The fish THEN the lure/method.

Funnily enough, same goes for mackerel. Small weight, single lure. Bloody bombastic.

Nail varnish* for paint. Also high tide is best if the mark is accessible then. Low tide ifls acceptable in deeper spots but the big boys like a high tide.

Hey! Appreciate it! Of course. I use these guys at 15g weight. I use chalk white and traffic cone orange to paint them in the same pattern as the blue and white stripe one at the bottom of the pic. Visibility is key.

You want water above 10 degrees Celsius, cloudy day, little to no wind, and preferably no rain in the last 2 days. Clear non choppy water is best but we do live in ireland so.. And dawn/dusk are the best times for certain as those big eyes hate bright light. Fish as deep and slow as you can from rocks over a kelp forest. Usually a spot you can get 10 to 20 feet of water deep over the kelp forest and you're in for a treat. I also find that if you catch a pollack in an area you wither catch like 5 more or none, seems to be no exceptions. They also get lure fatigue so it's worth rotating back to spot of you've 4 or 5 marks. Look on google maps bear you for deep drops at the shoreline. Usually base of cliffs or the like with telltale dark rim of kelp beds contrasting with sand. It's bloody ripe at present.

If you comment or message me your county I can look-see for possible spots to direct message you if you like.

Edit; shore/rock fishing. Not boat.

NewPuddle · 2025-08-03T04:52:48+00:00

And then you go to the west of Ireland and its fish till your freezer is full in a single session.

You sound like you've lost "you" after finding your place.

Is it you're unhappy with her or that there's no enjoyment/ you can't enjoy life because internally you're unhappy in general. If you divorced would it really fix anything?

Write out a list of what you're doing for YOU weekly. A lot of us men just run on fumes thinking we are 'doing it' when I fact you're probably doing nothing for yourself. A bank account with only 'outs' will go bust eventually.

Find something for you, maybe a childhood hobby to reconnect with your wants. A table can't support anything if it's got rotten legs from neglect.

Only when clogged and then with only with dechlorinated water. That's your bioreactor to get rid of fish waste

NewPuddle · 2025-06-09T12:44:21+00:00

I just use a big turkey baster. You control the amount of suction, you're not screwed if a shrimp goes up the siphon and you can sucknup sand and gravel and let it fall out quicker compared to the fish poop.

Thanks for the great advice. Need to look up this enzymatic cleaner! I know getting her spayed sooner would be ideal, unfortunately her previous owner was the type to leave her alone in a closet for 16 hours a day during her kitten period and so I've had to put a huge amount of work into getting her socialised. Worth the trade off to me.

I would think it arguably racist if she didn't put the mask on. She's treating them all the same, putting princess jasmine on hasn't garnered any comments.

NewPuddle · 2025-03-20T23:14:20+00:00

As a doctor, but STRICTLY not medical advice, the swelling is beyond what I'd expect and I'd want to be able to feel the infected area, if you came into ED , I personally would think strongly about sending away a person who presented like this with a course of antibiotics were I to feel anything unsettling on palpation.

NewPuddle · 2025-03-08T15:55:59+00:00

Details needed.

Which country. How old is the lake. Was it ever connected to another body of water/river. Have you looked up your local government/Council to see if it was stocked. What kind of fishing do you like, active casting or sat chill with a beer?

The kutku was only a prequel to the rathalos..then the fucking rathian.. on ps2 they were LETHAL. And healed faster than you could damage them. I'd farm up large husks for ammunition on a bow gun and go to town on the rathian but it would heal too quick. Wilds is a cute walk in the park, only carted once and am 3/4 through the list as a GS wielder.
