Catching a few species on the Reins Aji Adder on a terribly blustery day.
Nano Jighead
An introduction to Nano Jighead. One of my favourite LRF methods.
Lure Caught Shore Rockling
Shore Rockling is a new lure-caught species for me. This Shore Rockling takes me to 51 UK saltwater species caught on lures.
Rock Goby on Knight Worm
One of the easier mini species to tick off on unflavoured soft plastics, the Rock Goby is pretty aggressive for its size.
JungleGym Jaco Ichi Jig
A nice Corkwing Wrasse that has shown its predatory instincts towards this rather nice 1g JungleGym Jaco Ichi metal jig. Assist hooks here are the excellent DJ-95 twins from Decoy Japan.
Axillary Seabream in UK Waters
UPDATE 13/11/2024 – The fish that was originally identified as an Axillary Seabream is in fact a juvenile Red Seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo)
Okay, I’m leaving the original blog post below for prosperity, but I’ve completely u-turned on my original thoughts about this species.
HTO Tic Tac 3g
What a sensational run for the lightest HTO Tic Tac! HTO’s 3g Tic Tac is a micro metal jig which really proved itself this last week, catapulting it to one of my favourite lures of all time. Looking at the stats it’s easy to see why.
Colourful Corkwing Wrasse
Wow. What a beautiful Corkwing!
