Plenty fish on the pier

[fishingmark]

I headed up to the pier today with the intention of doing some float fishing for wrasse but there were some canny pollack being caught at the end so I went to the end to begin with, nothing on the spinners. Then I moved down to the blocks area and fished into the river side, one coalie on the spinner. I then changed tactics and went for the float using my Yuki Ruby which I wanted to christen, two small pollack resulted.
I then moved down to the second gate area and fished next to Gordon from the site and I got my first wrasse of the year on my first chuck.Really happy with that.





Not the biggest but you've got to start somewhere.
Thanks to Gordon for taking the pic
I had two more wrasse a bit bigger than the first and loads of small pollack so all in all a canny day.
I saw some good fish today including a turbot around the 2lb mark, well done to you mate.
The only down side was that I lost the tip ring from the rod but I just cut it and it worked just as well using the second ring down.
Back out on the hunt tomorrow!

I lost a canny Pollack yesterday using a small shad by the blocks. Next time I will get some rag and have a go for Coalie-looks a canny high tide spot never float fished there before or tried for Pollack.

[fishingmark]

Cheers lads. I'm off down there again today with the ambitious plan of getting a wrasse with an artificial on the float.
I'm taking ragworm as well to fall back on though.

 

[Juliogeordio]

Good luck mate! Nice wrasse

 

[Pete from shields]

Nice one Mark, cracking fish those wrasse are, might of became hooked on fishing for them myself now aswell mate, I must try and get one of my hometown wrasse.

 

[fishingmark]

Two more today from the same spot.





Nothing doing with the artificials but the ragworm worked fine.
I'm beginning to like this float fishing lark.
