Great start to my LRF season with an early Topknot.

LRF Cover Shot!
January 2019 and a genuine LRF cover shot for issue 566 of Sea Angler magazine. Massive thanks to Dave Barham who took the photo of me and the beautiful Dab.
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 Topknot
A true highlight. My first Topknot by any method. Caught in Plymouth area on Ecogear Aqua, fished on a 0.7g jighead. Absolutely delighted.
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.
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.
Lure Caught Dab
Proud of this one. A lure-caught Dab tricked into taking an unflavoured lure. In this case the lure was the beautiful Hart Rock and Street Micro Fish, fished on a dropshot rig from the boat.
