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. More
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. More
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.
LRF Flounder in Norway
A 40cm Flounder caught at Stadsbygd Harbour, Norway. Fooled by a white Knight Worm fished on a jighead.
Postage Stamp
Managed to avoid Flounder so far this year, so that's my 24th lure-caught species for 2016.
Weymouth Christmas LRF Species Hunt
Hats off to Andy Mytton for a first class LRF competition and meet-up, drawing in anglers from all over the country. Huge turn-out for any time of year (I think it was 34), but for December, with 40mph winds roaring away it was exceptional. Lots and lots of friendly faces, plus a few new to the saltwater side of light lure. Everyone appeared to be having fun. More
