First time wrasse fishing this year.
Heard of 3 lb Wrasse being caught from the Cliffs at Dunlickey but wanted to get a bit closer to the action and fished a sheltered low rock mark at Baltard. It's early days yet and expect much bigger ones real soon!

Well done Ross,

I tried fishing around there a couple of time's in the past few week's hoping the wrasse would be back but each time i tried to fish there it was like a washing machine with too much powder nothing but white water,

good to hear there back as its the only type of fishing my hyper nephew enjoys if he dont catch a fish within 5 minutes of each cast he goes on walkabout.

Yep! Has saved me many big wrasse! Ok to use when not casting as I usually lob out a few yards.
