Report:I thought i`d start my weeks holiday with a spot of wrasse fishing so i headed down to my favourite wrasse spot after work.I only waited 5mins for the first bite but i missed it,but i was still hopeful of getting a few fish.twenty mins later i had a cracking bite which resulted in a nice red cod of 2lb and 5mins later i got my second fish,a 2lb ballan wrasse.It wasn`t fast and furious fishing like it would be mid summer but every 20mins or so i`d have bites or get a fish.I ended up with four wrasse 1lb-2lb,two red cod 2lb & 2.4lb and two coalies both just over 1lb.A very enjoyable session,might try again tomorrow
i tried a good deep rock mark at orlock last week, the place is a great wrasse mark in the summer. i fished with rag and never got a touch all day!! u would think if they r in at bangor then they would surely be in at orlock?
Report:Thought i`d head down again seeing as i`ve loads of rag leftover from this weeks fishing.Bites came pretty quick again and my second cast produced a ballan of about 1lb but for some reason i couldn`t hook the fish every time i had a bite and ended up with a lot of missed fish .The last hour of light seemed to get the fish feeding and i was getting bites every chuck but i only had one more ballan which was about 8oz and another nice cod of 2.5lb It was too dark after that so i packed up.

This happens to me quite a lot when I go wrasse fishing, particularly when I'm using rag as bait.
I'm convinced it's small fish like pouting and poor cod (and small wrasse also) who are the culprits, mainly because I've caught them as a by-catch!
To connect with more fish, try tipping your rag baits with a bit of squid (or even a small section of an elastic band.) These smaller fish have an irritating habit of "sucking" the worm off your hook and leaving you looking like a sucker up there on the rocks...
for the cod it would but not too sure about the wrasse,and its very rough ground two hooks would just increase tackle loss which can be quite high anyway
