A 40cm Flounder caught at Stadsbygd Harbour, Norway. Fooled by a white Knight Worm fished on a jighead.
Soft Plastic Lures
The choice in small, soft plastic lures suitable for LRF and light lure fishing is immense. Take your pick from shads and paddle tails, darting lures, pin tails, worms and creature baits. All in every conceivable colour. If you are looking for inspiration, browse through the dozens of posts that feature my successful soft-plastics and the many varied catches made.
Tiny LRF Codling
Tiny Codling that I caught while fishing for Herring at Skarnsundet, Norway. He surprised me as he was hunting near the surface with the Herring. Caught on a favourite of mine, the tiny Mushi creature from AquaWave.
Goldsinny on Plastic
A Goldsinny Wrasse caught on a scaled-down soft plastic lure. The lure here is a cut down HTO Knight Worm, fished on a short drop shot rig. The hook is a red, Decoy SG-3 in size S.
HTO Stink Pots Pics
A few pictures I wasn’t able to share at the time, while I was testing the HTO Stink Pots lures ahead of launch.
LRF on Bournemouth Pier
Dropped in on Bournemouth Pier for an hour after seeing some fish around the pilings.
Lesser Weever on Soft Plastic
Beware: Weever fish are venomous! Treat with care. Look out for the jet black dorsal fin.
Night Game Poole Quay
A 90 minute Night Game session at Poole Quay resulted in some good fun with the local Pollack population. All fish were caught in the top third of the water column. A couple of big Smelt even managed to inhale the size 8.
Best of all, and what really gave me payback for braving the drizzle was witnessing ragworm spawning on the surface. I’ve only ever seen this once before and never as clearly as this. Couldn’t understand why they weren’t getting smashed by the Pollack.
