Re: st. james point 19/06/10
nice one grady
full strings of mack fight well on the spinning gear
have you tried using hardback crabs to avoid the smaller wrasse? well handy with the recession
just turn over a few rocks at low tide and collect as many free crabs as you need for a session

Re: st. james point 19/06/10
thanks brian this spot could be very good for large wrasse but this mark could be very packed by anglers so its hard to find good spotFisherKing wrote:Well done grady some nice Wrasse there, keep them coming!!

Re: st. james point 19/06/10
Your getting the sessions in rightly now grady, happy days
It's good to see you getting a few mackerel, it's always good to have a few. You can't beat fresh bait and mackerel are a great bait for targeting many different types of species.
Nice wrasses you caught. If you want to target the slightly bigger ones then what I have found works as the best bait is hard back crabs. They can be found amongst the weed and under rocks at any low tide mark along the shore.I then fish them live. How I put them on the hook is to pull off one of the back legs and peirce the hook threw the hole and gently threw the back shell. That way they riggle about in the water attracting any hungry wrasse that may be lurking about over to it and hopefully they will take it. Good luck for the rest of the summer
