Mega day afloat on the good ship Drifter. We set out without a plan, hoping the birds would help us out. It was beautifully calm when we set off a little after 8am. We didn’t need to go far!

Dropshot Black Bream
Dan Sissons with a nice little Black Bream tempted by red Marukyu Isome fished dropshot.
Lure Caught Lesser Weever
I’ve somehow beautifully avoided Weevers until now. But very pleased to tick off the Lesser Weever on this year’s species list. Numero 20 in fact. Lure was an XL Marukyu Isome fished on a 10g jighead on the drift.
Watch out youngsters (and not so youngsters) – these are poisonous! Not worthy of abuse, but watch yourselves and go careful.
Varivas Light Game Braid
I’m onto my third spool of Varivas Light Game PE braid. I’ve used this 0.3 PE braid since I started LRF. It lives permanently on my 2500 Stella and has landed some lovely fish.
Xesta After Burner Mini Casting Jigs
Really like these new Xesta After Burner Mini casting jigs, sourced from Art of Fishing while I was down in Cornwall. Not as cheap as the Quantum Mahi jigs but at £5.99 they aren’t the most expensive either. Great looking jig with a manic fluttering action. I took my recent Launce on the 7g version, as well as a ton of Pollock.

Lots of LRF Bass
Love this picture of LRF newcomer and good friend, Chris. If ever there was a smile that said ‘first LRF Bass’. This is fun fishing!
Chris and Dan have been having lots of Bass on LRF tactics down in Portsmouth. I’m glad. No really, I am…
Savage Gear Light Range Fishing Rods
Heads up. Savage Gear have entered a new range of light lure fishing rods in the 2013 EFTTEX Awards. While these Light ‘Range’ Fishing rods aren’t directly cites as LRF rods, they were apparently inspired by the light rock fishing scene and are likely to be just the ticket for LRF.
