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
Berkley Gulp
Berkley Gulp is a range of ‘fake baits’ and lures made of a biodegradable, water-based polymer that is saturated in fish-attracting liquids. Unlike standard soft-plastic lures, Gulp has pulling power and fish are less likely to reject the bait. Berkley has several ranges of Gulp, the most common being Gulp, Gulp Alive and Gulp Saltwater. Of all the various shapes available, the most common for LRF angling are; Gulp Sandworm (isome), Baby Sardine and Angle Worm. Hopefully what follows will encourage you to try these highly effective lures and baits.
Record Shanny?
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) More
