LRF new personal best........

A little bit a bout yesterdays session first went for bass in the
morning but no joy so on lrf which produced a couple of blennys
a nice little ballan and a female corkwing







So on todays sessioni had a break from work in the afternoon and decided to head to a local
mark for some wrasse i got there and realised it was going to be a short session as the tide was
pushing in hard so out i went onto the rocks with the solpara my 2500exage with 6lb rockfish braid
4lb leader and some size4 rockfish hooks from jackslrf (definetly as good as you said Andy) and it
wasnt long before i felt the familiar tap , tap then whack and i was into a wrasse and after a nice scrap
i netted a nice ballan of 2lb 2oz




Back it went and i fished on for another bit along a ledge where i had seen some wrasse moving
a few days earlier about 10 mins passed all the while i was watching the tide pushing up behind me
then once again i felt a tap then another tap then whack and a serious bend in the solpara with the drag
running i knew i was into a better fish it made five or six good runs before i finally got it to the surface
and around to the rocks where i could safely net the fish. i landed it and on the rocks i had a lovely ballan
of 3lb 1oz a new lrf personal best




After an extremely short but highly enjoyable session the tide pushed off the rocks
and back to work i went an extremely happy angler,

Tight lines,

Jay.

  1. Good angling mate and excellent report to boot on that front. The wrasse don't half fight on blanced tackle don't they?
