Few Small Wrasse on Softys!!

So another bank holiday weekend came along i was planning on doing quite a bit of fishing! I only actually managed 2x short sessions over the 3 days! Ben Kay had a small Wrasse on a Soft Plastic on Saturday:

I had a few also this one my biggest around the 3lb mark! :)

My brother was over from England, he has never caught a fish on rod & line before but he came with me for 1 hour! i showed his what to do managed a Wrasse myself. passed the rod over to him and after 10 mins he got one!! (only baby but he was well chuffed)

So that is about it for now ! going to put in a couple of Smooth hound sessions after work this week. il keep ya posted!! :)

Focusing on the Smoothhounds for a couple weeks

So i have had 2 sessions so far this year for the smoothhounds. None have came to my rod as of yet! (but lets hope they do soon)

Yesterday i had a good run took line of my reel i thought ohh maybe a smoothy struck into it to find it was only a Wrasse:

Here is Leigh with a Common Smoothhound he had last night down Rozel Pier ;) ! :

 Few quick pictures then released :

Soon after i was having a bite ! not a smoothhound but my first Conger of the year (only a baby ) but still aa sign that they are there to be caught ! :

Well weekend is here! So keep Checking my blog out to see what me & friends get :) !!

My First Double Figure Bass 12lb 3oz & a 5lb Wrasse!!

So i decided to meet up with my mates in Mr Fish tackle shop got our Soft Plastics & off we went to target some Bass!
Straight away when we got there Rob Dingle was into a nice Pollack :

Great start to the session ! ! My first words to Rob was "bet you get a Bass on your first cast" & what do you know he was IN !!

So good start so i after taking a few shot of this one! i was soon back in the water 3 casts later BOOM fish on! nicely netted by Rob another bass around the 3lb Mark ..

So far this is a good session if we left know ! but we couldn't 30 mins went by and i had a bite! i waiting and Striked into the fish Boom Fish on ! "F**k me this is a monster" i said ! Thought i was a huge Pollack at first ! but finally got it up and was a nice Wrasse Weighing 5lb ! measuring 52cm on the Lure Forum Tape Measure!

Was very hard to get a clear photo on the Ruler ! but here it is anyway :)

So darkness was coming! after this Wrasse demolished my Pro Logic - Savage Gear  Sandeel ! i swapped over to a Darker one!

10 mins went by and F**K me i am in again !! "This feels like a good fish Rob" i said really did not want to come to the surface! but i saw it .. "Its a Bass" and after a few attempts it was in the net. :D !

Weighing 12lb 3oz and measuring 87cm on the Lure Forum Tape Measure my P.B Bass !

Had to take a few Shots for this one!

So that is by far one of my best sessions yet!! Today after work i gotta catch some Black Bream! i will keep you updated !! 

Starting to love fishing with Soft Plastics!

I have been out a few times after work this week & over the course of the weekend fishing has still been very difficult trying to find somewhere to fish without the wind affecting me too much !

So it all Started with this Garfish on the Hard Plastic in Current! :

We have had lots more Wrasse too! :

Callum Had a nice Pollack of 3lb i had one the day before which went 3lb 5oz, but no camera with me! 

Callum had 6 Bass Yesterday too ! Top Angling by him! i only managed to get a couple of pics of the smallest one he caught:

Then i managed one :) !! 

More to come from my day before's fishing (Just waiting on Pictures) keep checking out my blog!!

Many Thanks :)

Wreck Pollack Trip!

In February we went out on Anna 2 Charter Boat fishing for Pollack on a Wreck. Here is a group photo of 'some' of our catch:

Its All Kicking Off!!!

I Love Bank Holidays !!!!!!

Well i had a great weekend of fishing! All started off with more Turbot had x4 up to 1lb on Friday night!

Then Saturday i had planed to take my girlfriends brother fishing. He hadn't been in a long time but he picked it up very quickly! he got a small one. Then his rod doubled over! 

It weighed 5lb 4oz and came to a Reins Soft Plastic 7Gram Jighead

It went 51cm on the Lure Forum Tape measure! 

Now my confidence is right up, i managed 13 Wrasse in the end we was only fishing couple of hours! 

Here are some shots!:

Had 1 a cast at one point (all were returned) 

I love this next photo:

 I had have a big one myself weighing 4lb and went 47cm on the Lure Forum Tape Measure! 

Sunday has now arrived!! never guess which spot i returned too :) 

Small Bass took my Soft Plastic! 

Plenty more Wrasse but no size to any of them so no pictures were taken!

 Monday i planned to go fishing with Ritchie Campion ! We met up grabbed a Coffee Bacon & Egg Roll and of we headed ! go to the spot within minutes i was into my first Lure caught Snipe of the year! 

10oz Snipe 

So as the tide went out we moved out with it hence the waders! 

I managed some more Wrasse this one the biggest around 3lb mark ! 42cm :)

We changed location as there was too much weed in water we couldn't fish through it ! 

i Blanked in this next spot we was both trying for a Bass ! And Ritchie got one!! lovely fish

Shore Turbot Bashing!

So now i knew there was some Turbot around, i went out again last night to fish for them & with the chance of Rays!
Rob Dingle lost one on his first cast on the surface he was a bit gutted.
The first one landed came to my rod! I used Sand-eel for bait

Then Rob Dingle Landed his first shore caught Jersey Turbot :) :

Then he had another one which was bigger than his first one:

Then just before darkness another one took i liking to my bait! was my new P.B -  1LB 

Its great to catch these flatfish and will definitely be doing alot more fishing for them.

Fishing is only getting better!!!!

Well been doing a fair bit of fishing ..as always :) ! including my p.b (lure caught) Wrasse of the year and my First ever shore caught Turbot & Steve Le Baillys Cracking Blonde Ray!

So i really wanted some BIGGER Wrasse on the soft plastics went down a spot i knew there was some big ones ! and what do you know took me 2 hours before i got this big one but was well worth it:

Lovely Green Wrasse Weighing bang on 4lb !

Then 30 minutes later i had another nice sized Green Wrasse which weighed 3lb 5oz :

Had a Trip out on Tony Hearts Boat Anna 2 and managed my first small eyed ray of the year weighed 5lb 12oz:

Steve Le Bailly had this cracking Blonde Ray weighing 32lb ! defiantly worth a mention and a picture! 

A few nice bream too :

So Today ( 2nd May 2011) i had a very bad day was really windy i moved around 4 different spots couldn't find any wrasse! so had a plan that i would target Small eyed Rays from the Shore ! and what do you know i got my First Turbot instead.....And then i had a 2nd next cast!! :) and then my mate Chris  Robinson managed a small one also. 

My P.B Turbot is now 15oz from the shore :)

Heres my second one!

And finally Chris's Turbot:

And i finished the session with a Pollack of around 1lb 1/2. So the turbot made my day !
Now after 11 days of work, i am back tomorrow :( but i am sure i will get some fishing done as well
