LRF in Dorset Echo

Always really pleased to see individuals leading the light rock fishing revolution and raising the profile of our sport. Hats off to Will Harding and the Weymouth LRF massive for getting light rock fishing into the Dorset Echo newspaper – in print and online!
After a number of events and meetings recently, it looks like Weymouth is set up as the hub for Dorset LRF – they’ve got some great venues too. Hopefully I can get down and fish one of the weekly meets one time.

Mini Species Fishing Guide

Thought this was good. Found this mini species fishing guide via Jay La Roche. Click on the image to load the pdf.
It features identification tips and fishing techniques for British mini species like Rockling, Scorpion Fish and various Wrasse.
Lure Heaven UK Species Hunt
Summer appears to be slipping away on the south coast, so I thought I better put in some effort for the Lure Heaven UK species hunt. 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.
Match The Hatch
Sunday saw Dan and I fish a mark in Portsmouth that we’ve fished countless times before but that didn’t stop us learning something about the movements of the resident Bass population.
Total Sea Fishing LRF Video
In this short video, Roger Mortimer from TSF Magazine talks through the gear used for ‘ultra light fishing’ (light rock fishing \ LRF)
Lure Caught Gurnard
Very happy with this one. Beautiful Tub Gurnard caught on LRF tactics – red Gulp Sandworm fished dropshot. Probably a shore PB for me and my 20th lure caught species of 2012. Hooked no more than 10ft from my rod tip in shallow water. Stunning looking fish.
Corkwing Bonanza
I like the end of the summer season. Fish species seem to turn on in waves. If last week was boom time for Cuttlefish, this week was peak for Corkwing Wrasse. There were dozens feeding at both the marks we fished and very eager to take an artificial worm. Such was the ferocity of the Corkwing it was nearly impossible to catch anything else with this tactic
