Report:
Was dying to get out & try for a specimen Wrasse after getting a few small ones during the past couple of weeks & few good Mackerel. But due to rough sea, & tons of floating weed it was very hard to get the right conditions
, but luckily Thursday looked good apart from it been very bright but said we’d give it a lash. So quick stop along the way, dug some good size Lug, & made our way to the Wrasse mark and after a quick sandwich was baited up. The water was crystal clear & from the off was into some decent bites, landed the first wrasse of 2.5lb followed by a slightly smaller one. But the wind had changed & started to get fairly breezy causing swells to form making it tough to keep the bait in the right place which meant loosing alot of weights & hooks in the kelp
. Decided to move up to a gully where there was a bit of shelter, which has been good in the past few years for big Wrasse. Baited up with lug, dropped down along the rock edge, a few minutes later got a great bite, I struck quick & was in battle with a very large wrasse, which gave a mighty scrap almost burying itself to the kelp, but with a bit of luck got her landed safely although the hook popped out just as I lifted her in
, quick few photos was delighted to see her tip the scales at 6lb 3oz a new personal best Wrasse happy days!! 
Back she went to fight another day, gave it another ten minutes & landed another one of 2lb.
a trip to sligo might be on the cards
