Great session! I was down at Blackhead on the same day and managed a few fish but none near the size you caught.. As a matter of interest how did the soft plastics compare to the limpets? Did you see that the wrasse had a preference for one over the other? Cheers

I was fishing with the lads for a while the other day and the lure fishing for them was difficult, they had no interest in them but at the same mark on other days I have been getting hit most casts by them so don't let that put you off. The numbers of them seem to be slackening off a bit too over the last few weeks.

They will all disappear soon. Dont let those lads lead you astray, I dont want to hear you have been using that four letter 'B' word. stick with the SP's :D :D :D
