Caught a couple of beautiful Baillon’s Wrasse from the boat using the new C-map Reveal charts to find a suitable hole in the reef. Used a short dropshot rig presenting a small piece of Gulp Slim Sandworm just off the bottom.

Turbot On Soft Plastic
Exciting catch out on the boat. This Turbot absolutely inhaled a white HTO Midi Stick fished on a 7g Illex Straight darting jighead. Takes my lure-caught species list to 29 for 2019.
Plaice Fishing With Isome
By all accounts, it’s been a good year for Plaice on the South Coast. Good quantities of fish means better chances of catching them on lures as these colourful flatfish compete with each other.
LRF Black Bream on Metal
Great start to the season with some marvellous conditions facilitating targeting of the Black Bream on light tackle.
Inshore Lure Fishing Picking Up On South Coast
Glad to report that the inshore fishing has picked up on the South Coast with the usual suspects now falling to a range of light lure techniques.
LRF Cuckoo Wrasse
We had a dozen or so Cuckoo Wrasse from the boat last weekend. Both male and female fish. Their bizarre colour-schemes make them a super interesting catch. A great LRF target. Particularly aggressive.
Plaice on XL Isome
Nice day on the boat, with Chris and I both ticking off Plaice for the year. A kind of mutant split shot rig presented an XL Isome on the drift.
