thanks al looking forward to getting a few more wrasse,I would love to get a Cuckoo Wrasse or some of the other wrasse species

well man, if you ever venture over to the co. down or antrim coast we'd be more than happy to take you to the spots we get the corkwing, goldsinny, cuckoo and rockcook wrasse at

thanks al I might have to take you up on the offer some time,I know where to find them down here but at the moment they are being very uncooperative they don't seem to want to be hooked and pulled out of the water for a photo

how very unconsiderate of them . i took dawsey to a mark i've fished loads of times the other day and he got his first rockcook wrasse the jammy git and i've been trying for one for the last 4 years unsucessfully go figure
