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.
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, 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. More
