LRF 9/6/11

Went out the other night to try a local mark i regularly fish lrf at
after recieving a load of different lrf sp's and gear from Andy at
 www.jackslrf.co.uk couldnt wait to try them out strange little
things when i say little i mean tiny from 20mm to 45mm

selection of sps from ''jackslrf''

these are seriously small but all work as i used each one the other night
I think they represent the various little planktons and larvae that
are meandering aimlessly around in the water columns all in all though
they work and that is the main point of a lure.
Anyway back to the fishing had a total of 43 little herring/sprat type
fish(not sure exactly what they were) in 2 hrs they are a first for me
so thats another new species lrf has opened up to me

very hard to get a good picture of these as soon as they
came out of the water didnt stay still for a second some crack
though all were caught ''on the drop''

had a fish a cast for 20 consecutive casts like it was unbelievabe!!
Yet again there was a lead humper(bait fishing) beside me mocking my gear when i got
there but he changed his tune after about 45 mins when i had fish after fish and he
hadn't had a single nibble let alone a fish

herring type on berkeley sandworm

it amazes me how such a small fish would take a lure almost a third of its
overall length greedy or what?
Anyway a great 2hrs and a fun way to pass some time.

Wrasse and Pollock 02/06/11

Had a good few hours fishing yesterday
with wrasse up to 3lb and a couple of pollock of
i suppose 1.5 to 2lb
The sun was splitting the trees and not a breadth of wind
when i got to my first mark and I thought for sure I was
into fish and i was second or third cast nice red ballan of 3lb
on a samuwara bullet worm, I thought great nice start but after an hour
or so of nothing more it was like the fish completely switched off
I moved on to a new mark on a low tide with nice deep holes and gullies
for me to drop the lure into tried the samuwara worm again but nothing
so i switched to an xlayer baits blue and it made an almost instant change
with a fish of 2lb coming next followed by another and another
I then switched to a 2inch senko type worm which got lots of interest
but only one take from a fish of about 0.5lb

all in all a total of 8 wrasse and a couple of pollock didnt
take pictures of them all because the markings were
very similar kind of kelpy orange colour seems to be the
most common colour variation of the wrasse around
Wexford but youve got to love the fight they put up no matter
what size certaintly keeping me entertained while the bass ban is
on.
On another just ordered a new lrf rod today a major craft
solpora so the wrasse and bass should be good crack on that
when i get in a few weeks.
I'm waiting on a bag of goodies from http://jackslrf.co.uk/
which should be nice i'll post a full report soon as i get them
