Caught a few Ballan Wrasse in West Cornwall. Felt their appearance was slightly different to their lazy South Coast cozens. They certainly fight well. Must be a tough existence in the Atlantic swell.
July
Archive of all LRF fish caught in the month of July.
Decent Pollack West Cornwall
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.
Cornish Lure Festival 2016
While I won’t remember the 2016 Cornish Lure Festival as one of my finest angling achievements, the event once again demonstrated why it is a must-do competition on the lure fishing calendar.
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.
LRF Red Mullet
Buzzin’. The highlight of my visit to Plymouth and no doubt, one of the best highlights of the year – my first Red Mullet on an artificial.
BLAC Saltwater Plymouth
Probably the most fun I’ll ever have coming last in a species hunt. I love this place! Plymouth offers an amazing array of opportunities for the lurist / species hunter / LRFer. For me, Plymouth remains the LRF capital of the UK and I’m ashamed it’s been so long since I returned.
Flounder at Ilfracombe
Always pleasant to snag a flatfish. This Flounder came from the commercial jetty at Ilfracombe, at high tide. Only other fish to be caught were Common Blenny.
