Yes me again !!

I met with a couple of lads last night for a spot of LRF. The wind direction made it quite difficult with light lures so out came my UL set up 1-11g. We found numerous pollock around the 1lb mark but I was after a cod for the species hunt. I was drifting the lure with tide just letting it bounce over the rocks an kelp while keeping contact. A few small bangs and then I eventually made contact with the typical nod nod and in came a little codling


I had another of similar size shortly after. It then went very quiet with only one of the lads landing a small blenny.
The temperature had dropped and my hands were freezing, last 5 casts i said then am off home. Second off last cast I was hit again and it felt pretty heavy, even took a little line. What appeared was a nice size short spined sea scorpion of around 2lb mark, the lure is 120 mm to put it in perspective.

Another 2 species in the board, am glad I got the cod as believe it or not this was one of my hardest.

I've got a few more mini species to find before I move on to another 3 species of wrasse and anything else that may turn up ;-) might have to wait till it warms up a bit.
Am unsure if feathers would work but you may be surprised if you hit right areas with SPs or metals.


Funny things go on in Wales , apparently it involves Velcro gloves ;-) would hate to think what they do with with feathers.

Well done. Again! You seem to be able to fish for specific species with ease.
Obviously you know your area very well.
Keep the reports coming, perhaps a little more on technic will help us mortals.

Bassboyo you are quickly becoming a legend and a tale to tell my grandchildren in years to come (if I get any ).

Looking really forward to closing that deficit!

Thanks , I could stop species hunting for a month or two but that would make it to easy for you. Golf !! You just gave me an idea as I know of a pond on a course near me and with this snow I could sneak in for a raid, more species oh no lol

Mate of mine fished with feathers off steetly pier all year round, baited them
up in winter, he outfished most of us nearly everytime.
