Great little session with Chris Wheeler in Weymouth on Saturday night. Wind dropped away to nothing for a couple of hours around midnight and we were able to fish delicate Aji-type lures on jigheads, using the curve fall method, on-the-drop (OTD). We picked up the desired Horse Mackerel (Scad), Mackerel and some decent sized Pollack, plus the odd tiny Whiting caught well off the bottom. Really enjoyed it.

Every Fish A Predator
Deep in summer, when the numbers of baitfish build, put down the Isome, match-the-hatch, and you’ll be surprised what species go full-predator!
Light Rock Fishing in Skiathos
Back from our summer holiday in the Greek Isles and the fishing was as fruitful as always. It was my first time to Skiathos but finding fish was easy. They were everywhere!
LRF Dolphin Fish
One of my favourite captures of all time. Dolphin Fish, aka the Mahi Mahi or Dorado.
Alderney 24 Hour Lure Only Species Hunt 2014
The weather gods were not best pleased with the group of anglers that ventured out to fish the 2014 Alderney 24 Hour Lure Only Species Hunt. Strong easterly winds hampered everyone’s progress the whole weekend but did nothing to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm. Alderney has a lot to offer, even in tough conditions.
Old Brown Trout on Alderney
I definitely wasn’t expecting this from the sea angling nirvana of Alderney. As such, probably my favourite fish of our trip.
PB Giant Goby
This one put the ‘Giant’ back in Giant Goby! What a clonker. Fascinating creature to examine. Altogether more robust that the other goby species. Lord of the rock pools.
My First Leopard Spotted Goby
Thanks again to the isle or Alderney for another beautiful gift. My first Leopard Spot. What a dude!
