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. More
Atlantic Ballan Wrasse
Caught a few Ballan Wrasse in West Cornwall. Felt their appearance was slightly different to their lazy South Coast cozens. They certainly fight well. Must be a tough existence in the Atlantic swell.
Decent Pollack West Cornwall
I don’t associate decent Pollack fishing with summer, but located a number of good fish in West Cornwall that tested LRF gear to the limit. Great fun on metals and weedless plastics.
Cornish Rock Cook
There’s no denying that the Rock Cook is one of the prettiest little fish in our seas.
Cornish Lure Festival 2016
While I won’t remember the 2016 Cornish Lure Festival as one of my finest angling achievements, the event once again demonstrated why it is a must-do competition on the lure fishing calendar. More
LRF Conger Eel
WARNING: There is quite a lot of swearing!
Here it is then. A lasting memory from the 2015 Cornish Lure Festival. One genuine lure-caught, LRF Conger Eel. Hooked on a 2-inch lure, using 4lb leader and a rod rated to just 5 gram.
Just shows you. NEVER give in.
Mahoosive thanks to Ben Tregoning for filming the last moments of this epic tussle.
