Duration:Two evening sessions
Tide:
Weather:Bright with light northerly the first day. Light to moderate westerly, dull on the second
Bait:Crab, mussel and berkely gulp crab
Rigs: 1 hook ledger(rotten bottom) and 1 hook float
Results: Ballan Wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, corkwing wrasse (30 odd wrasse), scad and mackerel
Catch and Release:: Yes
Report:Spent two seperate evenings after wrasse again. Monday tried a spot I had fished before and found plenty inside a gulley with a cobble bottom. Water was brillantly clear and it was possible to watch them darting about around 10feet down. Nothing above 3 3/4lb although again even in a northerly they kept on taking.
Second day at my usual haunt was interesting in that the fish aside from one or two refused to rise up a little to take the float fished crab, it had to be fished tight with the ledger and even then takes were very difficult to convert to fish. Normally here they are gung ho but today was very different. The mate Dave brought along some of his berkely gulp crab and although I was sceptical It managed to pull out a decent wrasse of 3lb on the 2nd cast, plenty of other bites on it too....even nipping off the little rubber legs of the crab
Was pleasantly surprised to see an artificial actually working. Used some frozen mussel for an experiment and that got plenty of hits too.Finished up the 2nd trip with a bit of spinning and in the dying light took a few mackerel and scad.
