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.

Cornish Rock Cook
There’s no denying that the Rock Cook is one of the prettiest little fish in our seas.
Goldsinny on Plastic
A Goldsinny Wrasse caught on a scaled-down soft plastic lure. The lure here is a cut down HTO Knight Worm, fished on a short drop shot rig. The hook is a red, Decoy SG-3 in size S.
Pollack to Bass
Weird. All the Pollack have turned into Bass :0) Perfect way to christen the new 5g Rock n Force though
LRF on Bournemouth Pier
Dropped in on Bournemouth Pier for an hour after seeing some fish around the pilings.
Lesser Weever on Soft Plastic
Beware: Weever fish are venomous! Treat with care. Look out for the jet black dorsal fin.
Topknot in Portsmouth
A rare Topknot, caught by Chris Wheeler in Portsmouth.
Inshore Pollack Fishing
Out on the boat. Obligatory LRF over slack water resulted in Pollack – entirely expected at this time of year. Briefly tried to target one of a small number of early Garfish but this only ended in frustrating, if not entertaining follows.
