Poole Harbour Advice

Popping back down later today for another go. I'm assuming once winter arrives the wrasse leave?

I've caught them all year round at Swanage, they should still be around in the harbour.
 
I also thought Wrasse were around all year. Or what's left of them - they've been catching loads of them down here and sending them Live to Scotland to try and reduce the lice and pests on farmed Salmon. ??

South coast I’d say they are pretty much.
Here there’s usually a gap between about December and April, depending on water temps/clarity
 
Well another great session at the Quay. 83 fish caught Inc Wrasse, Pollack, Pouting?, blennies and gobies all on paternoster rig with rag close in. Can't get enough it's great fun. The wrasse really pull more than their size would suggest. Looking forward to trying from some rock marks come the spring. I'll stick to the harbour with the daughter this winter.

What do you mean. 'she still teases us about it'???? It was only three months ago! My daughter caught more fish than I did on a trip in 2001 and she still brings it up on a regular basis! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Thought so. Didn't manage to get a photo of the Pouting as I dropped it back in... Butter fingers. Similar colour to the pollack but more triangular in shape and more fins
