What colour Isome worms work best?
We all have our favourites when it comes to flavoured lures like Marukyu Power Isome and Gulp Sandworm, but a question I see pop up again and again is, “what colour isome worms work best?” I thought it might be useful to share my catch data from the past few years.
Whiting on Gulp Sandworm
I love catching whiting on light tackle. This one came on Berkley Gulp Sandworm fished on a Caro rig.
Posh Isome Rig
Who said Isome rigs can’t be sexy?
Well that maybe a stretch, but this is pretty sweet…
Decoy Shore Drop + inch of large red Isome + tiny Flounder = Cool
Japanese Worm Hooks
A few weeks back I decided to explore the benefits of Japanese style worm hooks and purchased a few examples from Decoy, Gamakatsu and VMC.
Plaice, Plastic… Perfect
As we fast approach May we are finally getting April’s fishing. This time last year I had boated a few Bream and registered several more species but whether it’s from boat or shore, this year has been tough. The bonus of not having anything silver to fish for yet is that the Plaice have demanded more attention when boat fishing and with the right set-up are entirely target-able with plastics. Last Sunday the weather gave us a window to try Hayling Bay again.
Lure Caught Thornback Ray
Not strictly an LRF catch but an interesting capture none-the-less. I had this Thornback Ray on a 6-inch Berkley Gulp Sandworm as we drifted for Plaice. He nailed it good and proper. Just shows you every fish is a predator. Love this stuff!
Plaice on Lures
Gone are the days we dreamed whether Plaice could be caught on lures. I’m pleased to say this is the third season we’ve intentionally targeted and succeeded in catching Plaice on lures.
