Searching for positivity in the February gloom? Well, good news this week in the form of a new LRF species competition planned for early July 2021, down in Weymouth.

500th Post!
Amazingly, this is the 500th post on the Light Rockfishing Blog! When I set this website up in 2011 I knew LRF was going to be an interesting ride, but had no idea just how much lure fishing would take over my angling (okay, my life). From LRF to wrasse, boat, bass and freshwater I’m enjoying the ride. But despite so many distractions I’ve tried to stay dedicated to this little LRF blog and here we are – the 500th post.
HTO LRF Fish Measure
I’ve ditched my old measuring tape and moved over to using the awesome HTO LRF Measure. It’s basically a handy, telescopic fish measure that expands from 15cm to 50cm.
HTO / Hearty Rise Rock n Force Rods Preview
Heads up! For 2016, HTO has collaborated with premium rod manufacturer Hearty Rise, bringing in a range of high-end rods from their ‘Rock n Force’ range.
2016 Alderney Lure Festival
Extremely pleased to confirm that Dan, Chris and myself have just booked our flights for this year’s lure festival on the fishtastic island of Alderney!
This is the fourth year Mark Harding of Alderney Angling has hosted the event and it’s always extremely well run.
Meiho Liquid Packs
With species hunt season upon us (Cornish Lure Festival this weekend), flavoured baits like Marukyu Isome, EcogearAqua and Gulp become more important in the quest for extra species. Carrying these baits and the smelly liquid they come suspended in, isn’t without its problems. The fish attracting properties of these liquids does not appear to extend to loved ones!
World Predator Classic Street Fishing
The car is packed, the lure collection has been whittled down, the last few hours of work remain. At 17.30 today I will begin the mammoth 412 mile drive to Hellevoetsluis, home of the World Predator Classic – arguably the biggest lure fishing event ever to take place in Europe.
BLAC Q2 Froxfield K&A Canal
Delighted with 2nd place at round 2 of the British Lure Angling Championships, fished at Froxfield on the Reading AA stretch of the K&A. I was targeting the resident Perch population with UL.
