Hats off to Andy Mytton for a first class LRF competition and meet-up, drawing in anglers from all over the country. Huge turn-out for any time of year (I think it was 34), but for December, with 40mph winds roaring away it was exceptional. Lots and lots of friendly faces, plus a few new to the saltwater side of light lure. Everyone appeared to be having fun. More
Hope these pictures may help someone with identifying Sand Gobies.
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.
Had to travel to Weymouth to catch my first Whiting of the year. Weymouth is the undisputed capital of Whiting!
By a strange chain of events, I had the absolute pleasure of fishing with Kouichi Murai, CEO of the Breaden tackle company of Japan. My new friend Shota Jenkins Konno had asked if we could go Light Rock Fishing while they were both over in Europe and of course I jumped at the chance. More
During our Dorset recce, Dan and I stopped off in Weymouth Harbour for a quick hour long session. We were expecting the usuals but instead found a load of mullet, clearly feeding - rare! More
An hours impromptu LRFing in Weymouth yesterday, led to this nice looking flounder - a PB for me on the lure. More
