The fishing has been pretty decent recently after a pretty dire May. We've been out trying for gurnard quite a bit, as they usually turn up at this time of year but they've eluded us so far, we've had a decent bit of by-catch though with a few schoolie bass landed. Great fun on the LRF gear. IMG_20210609_094142_558.jpgIMG_20210609_094142_593.jpgIMG_20210604_093933_539.jpg

Its also been good to hit a few mackerel recently too, always a blast on the light gear. This one gave me a hell of a scrap on my 3g rated rod ?

Pollock have featured in our catches quite a bit too, mostly of the micro variety but we have found some decent LRF sized fish during our evening sessions.

We've also had some great results with the mini species, scaling down with dropshot and splitshot rigs. We've found a little spot where there is a very healthy population of rock cook wrasse, with a few cuckoo wrasse knocking around too. My mate Joe managed to nab a cuckoo (im still trying and failing on that one!) and we had some fun sight fishing for the rock cooks, which look stunning both in and out of the water. My quest for a cuckoo also brought me a couple of bonus catches including a leopard spotted goby and a rather rare ringneck blenny, which look quite a bit like a tompot blenny but with a few key differences.

Thanks mate. Yeah they seem to be a bit late arriving this year, hoping they'll show up in the next week or 2, will get a video out once they do show! ?
 
Great report and pics. Thats an impressive line up of fish you have had, ringnecked blenny is a new one on me, well done on that (y)(y).
Thanks mate, my mate Ben caught one when we were in Fowey and I thought that was the only one I'd ever see tbh! Very pleasant surprise ?
