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.
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.
Scorpionfish at Mevagissey
A couple of scorpionfish, or Long-spined sea scorpion from Mevagissey harbour in July.
Giant Goby on AquaWave Ami
Had a bit of a battle with this bruiser. A decent Giant Goby found in a boulder field at low tide, in Cornwall. Fooled the brute with an AquaWave Ami in Sodium colour.
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.
