Hi. My name is Adam Kirby and this is my LRF blog. I've been angling for nearly 40 years now. The first 20 of which were almost entirely focused on sea angling, fishing around my home town of Portsmouth. I still regard myself as a sea angler, but the boundaries have blurred a little. Probably best described as an all-round lure angler these days. Across both freshwater and salt. I've had decent success on the freshwater lure competition scene where I transferred my ultralight, LRF approach to targeting Perch on the inland waterways. If you've not tried this yet, you must give it a go. In 2015 I was crowned 'British Street Fishing Champion' after a series of events fished across the country.
I've always enjoyed the variety of fish species available in the sea and I've worked hard to catch over 50 UK saltwater species on lure. My motto is simple. “Fish for what’s in front of you. Big or small, love them all.”
A nice Corkwing Wrasse that has shown its predatory instincts towards this rather nice 1g JungleGym Jaco Ichi metal jig. Assist hooks here are the excellent DJ-95 twins from Decoy Japan.
What a sensational run for the lightest HTO Tic Tac! HTO’s 3g Tic Tac is a micro metal jig which really proved itself this last week, catapulting it to one of my favourite lures of all time. Looking at the stats it’s easy to see why.
