Had to call off a boat trip last week due to the wind strength offshore so I grabbed what LRF gear I had and decided upon a sheltered LRF session in the sun, around Old Portsmouth. More
Corkwing Wrasse on Metal Jig
A nice Corkwing Wrasse tempted into attacking a 3g metal jig in a nice bit of tidal flow. The metal is a Jackall Mame.
PW Ballan Wrasse
PW? Personal Worst! Although, not really. What a beautiful, fin-perfect, creature. A tiny Ballan Wrasse. All 7.5cm of it. Good luck little fella!
Turbot On Soft Plastic
Exciting catch out on the boat. This Turbot absolutely inhaled a white HTO Midi Stick fished on a 7g Illex Straight darting jighead. Takes my lure-caught species list to 29 for 2019.
Tompot Pandemonium
Have never considered whether there was a peak period for the Tompot Blenny, but my trip around Devon in late July offered up a dozen of these little bruisers. Still one of my favourites.
Squid on Jackall Mame Jig
A nice bonus on the Jackall Mame metal jig in the shape of this colourful squid.
Rock Cook Wrasse in Devon
On a recent road-trip to Devon, one of my targets was my first Devonshire Rock Cook. More
My First UK Grey Gurnard
I thought I'd spotted a dragonet in 6-inches of water but it turned out to be my first ever Grey Gurnard in the UK. What a little dude! Made my day.
