Report: Headed out to try our luck at a few Wrasse. The wind and dark clouds came over just after arriving. Thought we were going to get a real soaking. Luckily it blew over with only a bit of a shower. The first spot saw me blank and my mate Pete got a nice Ballan of about 1lb. The second spot got us both Small Pollock, I got a couple of nice Corkwing Wrasse and my mate Pete got another good Ballan. The third spot got me a new personel best Ballan Wrasse estimated at almost 3lb which put a serious bend in my Greys Bze and didnt give up the whole way in. After struggling to remove the hook and get a quick Pic it was returned to the water. It gave one kick and turned belly up :cry: . Oh no way was I going to let a fish as good as that Die without trying to revive it. After managing to grab it and pushing it backwards and forwards for a couple of minutes through the water it all of a sudden gave a kick and dissapeared. :D I now need it to grow a couple of Lbs for next year. Both of us also got Pouting and Pollock at the same spot.
