With a mild autumn there’s still lots of boat activity on the canal leading to poor water clarity. I’ve done well with dark coloured creature baits, including a great little session on the Hart Curly, seen here.

Plaice on Creature Bait
How about this! My favourite catch aboard Hot Pursuit so far this year. Dan managed to wedge a decent sized, blue creature bait inside this beautiful Plaice. The lure is a Zman Punch Crawz. Amazing catch Dan. Well done.
Tiny LRF Codling
Tiny Codling that I caught while fishing for Herring at Skarnsundet, Norway. He surprised me as he was hunting near the surface with the Herring. Caught on a favourite of mine, the tiny Mushi creature from AquaWave.
Shore Fishing Fort Myers Beach, Florida
Just back from 5 unforgettable days in Florida, based in the Fort Myers Beach area, close to the stunning Sanibel Island and the Ding Darling wildlife reserve.
April Wrasse Fishing
Enjoyable day on the Dorset coast with Dan and Chris. While the wrasse fishing is still only a fraction of what it will be in the next couple of months, it still felt rewarding. Each of us caught. Creature baits were the key. Crystal clear water conditions. You can’t beat the ‘tonk’ of a bite from a Ballan Wrasse. I’m an addict!
Early Swanage Trip
With the sea temp approaching that magic 10 degrees and a lush forecast, I ventured back down to Dorset to see if any fish were feeding. Thankfully they were.
Perch on HTO Creatures
With an icy cold wind chilling the canal I thought the Perch might need a bigger meal to get them moving today. So I spent the afternoon with HTO’s creature baits – the Bug-ga and the Paddle Bug.
Ruffe on Creature Bait
Cool little Ruffe caught on a tiny, pink creature bait. Good one to tick off.
