Very happy with this one. Beautiful Tub Gurnard caught on LRF tactics – red Gulp Sandworm fished dropshot. Probably a shore PB for me and my 20th lure caught species of 2012. Hooked no more than 10ft from my rod tip in shallow water. Stunning looking fish.
I like the end of the summer season. Fish species seem to turn on in waves. If last week was boom time for Cuttlefish, this week was peak for Corkwing Wrasse. There were dozens feeding at both the marks we fished and very eager to take an artificial worm. Such was the ferocity of the Corkwing it was nearly impossible to catch anything else with this tactic
Another possible British record to add to the monster Black Goby Dan had in February. I had this mega Shanny in Old Portsmouth on a section of Gulp Sandworm. Photo doesn’t do it justice – it was huge! (it went back)
Made the drive to Plymouth well worth it. First lure caught Flounder taken on a dropshot worm fished wacky
Little Rock Goby dude caught on Bloody Red Gulp Sandworm 4″
LRF Tub Gurnard caught on Quantum jighead and Gulp Sandworm.
Nice sized Corkwing on a white Berkley Gulp Sandworm.
