Dan and I had a good day on the boat up East, chasing species on lures and artificials. Last count was 14 between us with the highlights being a Baillons for Dan and a Cuckoo Wrasse for myself. A boat Tompot is always pretty cool as well. More
August
Archive of all LRF fish caught in the month of August.
Turbot On Soft Plastic
Exciting catch out on the boat. This Turbot absolutely inhaled a white HTO Midi Stick fished on a 7g Illex Straight darting jighead. Takes my lure-caught species list to 29 for 2019.
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.
LRF Cuckoo Wrasse
We had a dozen or so Cuckoo Wrasse from the boat last weekend. Both male and female fish. Their bizarre colour-schemes make them a super interesting catch. A great LRF target. Particularly aggressive.
My First Baillons Wrasse
My first Baillon’s Wrasse by any method. And what a stunning little fellow he is close-up.
Plaice on XL Isome
Nice day on the boat, with Chris and I both ticking off Plaice for the year. A kind of mutant split shot rig presented an XL Isome on the drift. More
