About Adam Kirby
Hi. My name is Adam Kirby and this is my LRF blog. I've been angling for nearly 30 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 40 UK saltwater species on lure. My motto is simple. “Fish for what’s in front of you. Big or small, love them all.”
NEW SPECIES! I’m calling it early… This will be my fish of the year. Dream fish. Butterfly Blenny (Blennius ocellaris). 9cm of grown-men-jumping-around-for-joy!
If LRF had a boat fishing cousin, it would probably be Micro Jigging. Fishing with light gear and relatively light metal jigs for a multitude of species. Immense fun, as highlighted in this Tronixpro / HTO blog
Having grown up reading about the specimen fish catches from the notorious Devil’s Point in Plymouth, I always fancied fishing there. Sadly that didn’t happen until now.
