Welcome back to Jay La Roche of South East Angling, who captures the colours of the sea in his articles. Jay has had a good weekend with LRF on the shore. He reports:
Got out over my days off this weekend…..
Lovely conditions beautiful pristine clear water albeit with a touch of North in the air….
Had originally planned for a bass or two but I was surprised to blank…… the less said about that the better. One thing I will say is that fishing is surprisingly tough.
Any way back to my LRFing my first target was flounder and I was trying out a rig that most guys use for thin lip mullet or golden grey…..a mepps type spinner with a small trace with a single hook and piece of gulp/isome.
First or second cast result……fish on a lovely flounder of about 25cm….
I saw this fish coming out the water bright orange spots…..I have to say I thought it might have been a plave but the orange spots quickly faded and it was clearly a flounder ah well maybe next time…….. I kept fishing like this for another 20 mins but that was to be the only flounder.
So I switched over to a jighead and gulp…..amd immediately it was blenny after blenny after blenny……
I didnt take any photos of these as they mostly just tail gripped the lure and were easily shook off or I just unhooked quickly and went straight back.
I did however manage a gorgeous corkwing wrasse one of our most beautifully coloured species of fish…
Compliment of:
Jay La Roche
