Celebrated my 49th fish species on artificials by taking some incredibly dull photos of this Painted Goby. At least this photo shows the characteristic ‘saddles’ on the back.
PB Rock Goby
New PB Rock Goby caught while fishing the Cornish Lure Festival. Measured 13.5cm, which I believe is at the top of their known size range. A real bulldog of a goby and in fine fettle.
LRF24 Reel Masters Species Hunt Weymouth
Another fishing hangover continues into Tuesday from the weekend and has me wondering if I am getting too old for this lark… But try and stop me when this type of fixed-time, lure-only species hunt format is just so incredibly exciting and the vibe amongst competitors is just ace!
LRF Gilthead Bream
New species! My first UK Gilthead Bream on an artificial. Takes my UK lure species list to 47
Ruffe’s Ruin
First time out with the new HTO French Fry and what a mind-bending session. I had a total of nine Ruffe on the new soft-plastic shad from HTO!
HTO Weedless Cheb Hooks
New gear from HTO continues to arrive. These new HTO Weedless Cheb hooks look great for LRF with sizes down to a number 10.
