Micro metal is a fun technique to target Sand Smelt, but the key is tuning your metal jig with the appropriate sized assist hooks.
Weever on Soft Plastic
Once you’ve found them Lesser Weever are pretty easy to catch. Aggressive little things. They very much like movement and will come way off the bottom to hit a moving lure. Here, a natural coloured Knight Worm. Please be careful. They’re highly venomous.
Sea Scorpion
Close up of a Long-spined Sea Scorpion. One of many caught in Cornwall.
Corkwing on Metal
Hugely satisfying and a big points score. Corkwing on metal. Tuned 2g Reins Palpuntin jig.
Giant Goby

Poor Cod on Metal Jig
Unexpected bonus this evening. Found a thick shoal of Poor Cod on dusk. Made short work of them with a HTO Shore Jig.
CLFoff Tour
With the Cornish Lure Festival cancelled for 2017, Dan, Chris and myself decided to fish it anyway! And so we began our lure-only species hunt around Cornwall for a few days.
Light Rock Fishing in Kefalonia
Did some LRF around Agia Efimia, while on holiday for a week on the Greek island of Kefalonia (one of our favourites). This year I played things a little differently and kept the Isome in its packet, concentrating on metals, micro hardbaits and soft plastics.
