Cornish LRF Wrasse Mission

With little swell predicted, decided to fish an exposed  deep water, rough ground mark, for the chance to target some Wrasse on the LRF tackle. The fishing would be done almost vertical, in the deep gullies that line this particular bit of the West Cornwall coastline. A brisk walk along the cliff tops, and then scrambling down to the granite lumps, started out by fishing small 2″ Ecogear BugAnts weedless, Texas style. Rod was the Nories Slow Retrieve SR74F, with Sunline Small Game 0.4PE loaded on the Daiwa Certate 2506.

The water was very clear, but the surface was chopped up from the strengthening wind. With the tide just starting to push from low, the first knock resulted in a good hook up, and my first Wrasse landed. With this particular gully going quiet, made the move to a spot which has thrown up good fish in the past, a deceptively deep trench, which is fed at one end by a fresh water stream, from up high above. Casting out, and with what seems an age for the the lure to reach the bottom, the Wrasse were hungry, and I was soon into some action. Had four Wrasse in this quick session, the fish all fighting well on the light tackle, great fun and looking forward to more soon!
