Corkwing Wrasse on Metal Jig
A nice Corkwing Wrasse tempted into attacking a 3g metal jig in a nice bit of tidal flow. The metal is a Jackall Mame.
PW Ballan Wrasse
PW? Personal Worst! Although, not really. What a beautiful, fin-perfect, creature. A tiny Ballan Wrasse. All 7.5cm of it. Good luck little fella!
Scad on Blue Metal Jig
An energetic Scad caught on a blue metal slow jig out on the boat today.
Stripey Pouting
A stripey Pouting caught on pink Isome from an area of weedy habitat.
Our Alderney Lure Festival 2016
The 3rd and 4th of September saw both local and visiting lure anglers congregate upon the beautiful island of Alderney for the annual Alderney Lure Festival. Hosted by Alderney Angling and its 4th year, it was great to hear the event was going from strength to strength, with a record turnout. More
Postage Stamp
Managed to avoid Flounder so far this year, so that’s my 24th lure-caught species for 2016.
My First Welsh Bass
A trip to visit relatives in Carmarthenshire this weekend gifted me the opportunity to fish a picturesque estuary on the flooding tide. The end result was a nice Bass on the 15g Caro rod. My first Welsh bass! Fought really well in the shallows and has left me wanting to do more of this style of angling.
