Report:Went out strictly for a monster,usin full squid on a pennel and sandeel on the other pennel, i wasnt gonna settle for less :shock: ...i was getting loads of small bites from smaller fish but i refused to drop hooks sizes or scale down my rigs...as a result i didnt catch a thing...i only stayed an hour cause the weed was getting really heavy so i split...i did spot a dead fish washed up on the shore, i cant identify it..firstly i thought it was a gilthead but i dunno..what do u think it is?

its def a lumpsucker,they move further inshore at this time of year to spawn.i think they build nests just below the low tide mark.i saw one while i norway,it was just swimming around between the boulders of the breakwater,but it was only a small one of around 4-5lb,i think the british record is just over 20lb :shock: .they are a similar shape to wrasse,i wonder do they fight the same? 20lb! wrasse now that would be fun :wink: :)

Locals tell me that its pointless fishing the South Coast when the wind is screaming from the North or North East, so I didn't bother going out. Too cold even to dig bait :shock:

Hi lads,
nice fishing!

Just wondering is anything being caught around the Guillamines there (forgive the spelling) or is this spot a summer macky bashing place only?Just curious, as to what ground is there,is it sandy or rocky, or any information about it would be great. PM me if you prefer to keep the information private.

Thanks.
