A PB lure caught Plaice for Dan. Thin, early fish but went 2.5lb. Fought really well on his Tenryu Lunakia. Lure was an Ecogearaqua Milfle. More here: Plaice, Plastic… Perfect

Mixed Light Boat Fishing
Found some good fun out on the boat. With small neap tides and light winds in the morning we were able to fish LRF tackle both at anchor and on the drift.
Plaice on Lures
Gone are the days we dreamed whether Plaice could be caught on lures. I’m pleased to say this is the third season we’ve intentionally targeted and succeeded in catching Plaice on lures.
Sub Zero Angling
I had a rare, full pass for this weekend so despite the freezing conditions it was full steam ahead to try and make the most of it.
Texas Rig for Perch
Quiet on the Kennet and Avon Canal today. Managed these two Perch and stirred a couple of Pike. Fished Reins Bubbling Shads on a texas rig. Chartreuse was the best performing colour.
LRF St Malo
Managed a half-hearted LRF session in St Malo before catching the ferry back to Portsmouth. Tide and temperature were not on my side but I was determined to catch a fish, so set my sights high with a goby. Job done. Pretty ordinary Black Goby, but a great backdrop. Looking forward to returning one day for a proper go at it – look at all that structure!
Spinning for Perch
Dan joined me for the last fishing of the year today and I’m pleased to say it was successful with us catching maybe twenty Perch between us. But what a contrast
Drop Shotting for Perch
I was determined to go drop shotting for Perch today, despite the weather. If anything, my local canal seems to have become clearer with all this rain we’ve been having. By the sounds of it, others haven’t been so lucky.
