Luckily the Corkwing are still in residence at pretty much every seaward mark we fish in Portsmouth – they won’t be for too much longer. Then a change of mark presented me with seemingly a sea of Black Goby but I did fluke out my first Dragonet of the year – good for the comp and my yearly species tally.

LRF Beach Wrasse
I seem to have had a run of wrasse lately, however this one came off a shingle beach within 4m of the high tide mark. Makes you think
