Butterfly Blenny
NEW SPECIES! I’m calling it early… This will be my fish of the year. Dream fish. Butterfly Blenny (Blennius ocellaris). 9cm of grown-men-jumping-around-for-joy!
May’s Fish Beauty Pageant
Like the United Colours of Benetton. Every one a stunner.
Furthest East Giant Goby
This is the furthest East Giant Goby I’ve ever stumbled into. From Devon and a beauty at 19cm. King of the rockpool.
LRF at Devil’s Point
Having grown up reading about the specimen fish catches from the notorious Devil’s Point in Plymouth, I always fancied fishing there. Sadly that didn’t happen until now.
It’s Started!
First one of 2022. A nice, early, prespawn fish that took a liking to a shrimp pattern soft plastic lure, fished on the reliable Free Rig.
Back on the Black Bream
Just a quick post to say Dan and I are back on the Black Bream and straight in where we left off. The Free Rig getting it done once again, although fish on metal too. Plenty more info on our bream fishing coming up, weather permitting.
