The strong winds and swells kept me away from the rocks this morning, so to a local river I went, armed with a white loaf and a float. One take, one fish.
I had 4 hits this morning and managed to net 3 of them, all on the Ned on the Texas rig. A couple were quite small, but I did manage to extract a 5lb 3oz from it’s rocky lair.
Hi folks. After a break, I’m back on the forum. It’s taken a while, I lost my log in details so Mike had to re-set it.
Instead of trying to find shelter on Friday morning on a rock mark, I decided to head to a local harbour, knowing the westerly wind would be blowing pretty much from behind me...
Not sure if anybody is interested, but I’ve just started a wrasse fishing YouTube channel. It’ll be more instructional rather than me just fishing every week. Thanks
Plan changed, decided to scrap YouTube
It was nice to put the first fish of the year in the net yesterday morning. Although only small, with the conditions consisting of strong winds, murky water and a big swell, I was more than happy to just catch. As in recent weeks, a 3” ned on the Texas rig did the business.
Last session of the year was a struggle, with murky water and an annoying cross wind. I did manage to remove a 4lb 3oz though from its rocky lair on a ned.

I must admit, I’m blown away. I was working a ned next to a rocky outcrop this morning when all of a sudden this fish hit hard. I knew straight away it was decent but didn’t think at first I’d landed a 6. Scales zeroed twice and weighed twice, 6lb 5oz
Yesterday morning the conditions were probably the worst I’ve ever wrasse fished in, with periodic heavy showers, a strong 40mph cross wind and a 1m plus swell every 12 seconds or so. I had to work the lures close in around the gullies and the rock ledges in-between the swell, as once the swell...
It was nice to be able to get out on the rocks this morning again after three weeks of high winds and swells. It wasn’t ideal conditions after the recent storm, but it was fishable
There was no way of getting onto the rocks today due to strong winds and swells, so it was to a sheltered harbour I went with a light lure rod, stick float and loaf of bread. After around 40 minutes of regular feeding with mashed bread around some moored boats, my float slowly slid away when...
I couldn’t get out on the rocks today due to large swells and strong winds, so I went to local harbour that I knew would be reasonably sheltered from the elements. It wasn’t perfect, but it was fishable. The best of five, all lure caught as usual.
