Gudgeon on Metal Lure
This was a good one to tick off. A Gudgeon on a metal lure! Lure is the Jackson Daniel 1g
Baillons Wrasse at Swanage Pier
It’s taken me a while to catch a Baillon’s Wrasse at Swanage Pier, but on Friday I did it in style, catching a beautiful little Baillons on an AquaWave Mushi creature.
Rock Goby on Jig Head
Must admit, quite enjoy catching gobies by Jighead method. Not easy, so rewarding once you get the action right. Lure here is the Ecogear Aqua Shirasu.
Corkwing with Anilocra Parasite
I captured this poor Corkwing Wrasse that was host to a fairly large Anilocra parasite – a type of isopod. Was able to carefully remove the parasite and release the fish.
Nano Metal Wrasse
With so much fry around, ‘nano metals’ are working well locally. This little Ballan took a shine to the tiny 3.5g Shimano Soare TG Ace.
LRF Topknot
A true highlight. My first Topknot by any method. Caught in Plymouth area on Ecogear Aqua, fished on a 0.7g jighead. Absolutely delighted.
Scorpionfish at Mevagissey
