I was lucky enough to find a couple of these juvenile grouper lurking at the bottom of a quay in Skopelos, Greece. I believe them to be Goldblotch Grouper (Epinephelus costae), which I think is a first for me. You can’t help but love grouper. A proper rockfish! They both aggressively took small paddletails fished on 1g jigheads.

Apocalyptic Mackerel
Week 30. The week the Mackerel turned up. The week ALL the Mackerel turned up.
Portland Wrasse
We endeavoured to find a new wrasse mark this weekend but the results were slightly disappointing. Having said that, we did find some stunning scenery and worked out access routes, etc. In fact, I think we stumbled upon some great looking bass ground. Read more
Shimano Soare Tidey
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.Read 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.
