Whether I was fishing the latest must-have Japanese rockfishing tecnique, or just posh float fishing, I don't know. But I really enjoyed fishing a small estuary system yesterday with the hope of a flounder or mullet. Instead this little bass obliged. I'd like to try it again. More

Atlantic Ballan Wrasse
Caught a few Ballan Wrasse in West Cornwall. Felt their appearance was slightly different to their lazy South Coast cozens. They certainly fight well. Must be a tough existence in the Atlantic swell.
Decent Pollack West Cornwall
I don't associate decent Pollack fishing with summer, but located a number of good fish in West Cornwall that tested LRF gear to the limit. Great fun on metals and weedless plastics.
Cornish Rock Cook
There's no denying that the Rock Cook is one of the prettiest little fish in our seas.
Pollack to Bass
Weird. All the Pollack have turned into Bass :0) Perfect way to christen the new 5g Rock n Force though
LRF on Bournemouth Pier
Dropped in on Bournemouth Pier for an hour after seeing some fish around the pilings. Turned out they were Smelt, including some jumbos. Good fun jigging cut-down Knight Worms for them.
There were large numbers of Spider Crab present. At least I wasn't trying to fish bait!
Lesser Weever on Soft Plastic
Beware: Weever fish are venomous! Treat with care. Look out for the jet black dorsal fin.
Topknot in Portsmouth
A rare Topknot, caught by Chris Wheeler in Portsmouth.
