It feels like Dan and I have waited an eternity to be able to talk about this.
In early June we were out on a shoot with Sea Angler magazine and both managed to achieve a BIG personal target for each of us – the lure caught Smoothhound.

My First Lure Caught Chub
It was a long time coming, but thanks to the river section of the K&A canal in Newbury, I finally caught my first lure caught Chub. What a beautiful fish!
Still Catching Corkwing
My fishing has been slow the last few weeks, but still lots of Corkwing Wrasse on the south coast.
Roach on Plastic Lures
My first Roach on a lure – and an unflavoured lure at that. Pretty fish. #predator
LRF Bream
This is definitely the year to tick this one off. Lure caught Black Bream.
Back on the Dropshot
After last weeks beating administered by the Dutch anglers, I wanted to spend a little time with dropshot on localised fish. 3 fish in 40 minutes. All 20cm+
Meiho Liquid Packs
With species hunt season upon us (Cornish Lure Festival this weekend), flavoured baits like Marukyu Isome, EcogearAqua and Gulp become more important in the quest for extra species. Carrying these baits and the smelly liquid they come suspended in, isn’t without its problems. The fish attracting properties of these liquids does not appear to extend to loved ones!
