Cool little Ruffe caught on a tiny, pink creature bait. Good one to tick off.

Horse Mackerel at Weymouth
Great little session with Chris Wheeler in Weymouth on Saturday night. Wind dropped away to nothing for a couple of hours around midnight and we were able to fish delicate Aji-type lures on jigheads, using the curve fall method, on-the-drop (OTD). We picked up the desired Horse Mackerel (Scad), Mackerel and some decent sized Pollack, plus the odd tiny Whiting caught well off the bottom. Really enjoyed it.
Light Lure Session in Newbury
Had a great little session on the town section of the K&A canal in Newbury on Saturday. Grabbed just over an hour while the missus was doing some shopping, and using a single lure I had a total of 10 fish for 229cm.
Right Place Right Time
5 small Bass in a 40 minute window as the tide races over an obstacle. Tremendous fun on light tackle.
Smelt on Isome Tail
A small section of white / pink Isome darting through the water column looks a lot like a fleeing shrimp or fry. Smelt go crazy for this technique!
Success with BLAC
This is a post I wrote for Ecogear on my successes at rounds 1 and 2 of the British Lure Angling Championships:
“Catching 12cm Perch may not be to every lure angler’s liking but it is certainly a way to qualify in this fantastic new championship.
PB LRF Pollack
PB LRF Pollack of 4lb 14oz. Caught inshore working an Ecogear Aqua Milfle on my HR UL. A lot of fun. Hopefully the seal we saw has left a few for the coming weeks!
LRF in Spain
Over visiting my mother in Spain at the moment. Got the chance to fish for a few hours today. Nothing too serious – just a bit of fun with a handful of tackle and a pack of Isome. As ever, my mum caught the best fish of the day! #standardÂ
