A couple of scorpionfish, or Long-spined sea scorpion from Mevagissey harbour in July.

Close up of a Long-spined Sea Scorpion. One of many caught in Cornwall.
LRF Portsmouth
Looking back at my blog, LRF doesn’t really get going until April. Or so I thought. With 5 days still left of March I can’t quite believe what a great day’s fishing I’ve just had around Portsmouth. Last year I had to drive west to find the early fish.
Scorpo Smackdown
Had quite a nostalgic day yesterday fishing a few marks in Portsmouth that I used to fish as a boy. I was on my tod, so moved around a bit as the feeling took me. As it happened, it was a Scorpion Fish kind of day.
Poole Quay LRF
Stopped off at Poole Quay on my way back from wrasse fishing further south. Of course I had an LRF rod in the car!
Early Swanage Trip
With the sea temp approaching that magic 10 degrees and a lush forecast, I ventured back down to Dorset to see if any fish were feeding. Thankfully they were.
LRF on Swanage Pier
What a cracking bank holiday Monday it was down in Dorset!
First of this year’s trips down to Swanage Pier and the first of the fish. It was clear that the Scorpos were back with a vengeance. Team Taylor (Mark and Sam) were into double figures by the time I got there. Young Sam was rinsing us. Well done Sam.
LRF Night Game
Drove down to Portsmouth last night to catch up with Dan and Chris. Would have been rude not to do a little Night Game.
Rainy night but wind was much lower than forecast. Fairly pleasant. 6 species in total. Bonus was a little Bass that beat the Pollack to a white Aqua Straight OTD.
As ever, find floodlights for the most fun.
