I thought I’d spotted a dragonet in 6-inches of water but it turned out to be my first ever Grey Gurnard in the UK. What a little dude! Made my day.

LRF Grey Gurnard
A huge Grey Gurnard caught on a HTO Leethal in chartreuse, fished on a dropshot rig from the boat. We were fishing out of Skarnsundet in Norway.
Red Heads Make Me Hard
Bernard likes red heads too!
Tub Gurnard on Slow Drift
Always enjoy an appearance from a gurnard. This Tub hit an Isome fished on an oversize split shot rig (5g) fished on a slow drift in super calm conditions.
Tub Gurnard on Red Reins
Dan has been doing well on red lures in recent weeks.
Tub Gurnard, Number Twenty-something
Like lots of fellow anglers I like to keep a tally of species every year and I enjoy the challenge of seeking out a particular species to tick off the list. In the old days of bait-only fishing I would hit maybe 18-20 species a year, but now I mainly lure fish that total has risen year on year. Before any bait-boys get there bait elastic in a twist, this isn’t because fish all of a sudden like plastic more than food. It’s purely down to the fact I am fishing more.
Lure Caught Gurnard
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.
