Kerry - Wrasee fishing

People:Me

Duration:2 Hours

Tide:Low water
Weather:Bright sunny strong southery wind

Bait:Shrimp

Rigs:Single Hook

Results:Sever Wrasse and a pollock




Report:
Dropped my shimp pot off a local pier baited with Mackeral hoping to get some shrimp for wrasse bait, Retuned following morning and pleased to find about 3 dozen plump shrimp.
Simple single 3/0 hook and 3oz weight and straight drop off the rock into water which was about 15 foot deep. started fishing at low water and first half hour was slow. got bored of holding rod so laid it on the rocks. suddenly rod was nearly pulled into the water by a wrasse that turned out to be my biggest fish of the day. this fish was easily specimen weight. but after taking a photo of him he was returned safe to fight another day..after this it was a fish a cast and even got a pollock for good measure. all fish returned alive

some class looking wrasse there mate, well done. good fishing.
what weight do you reckon the specimen wrasse was? i take it its the one in the bottom picture..? and thats a decent looking pollack too, did it take the shrimp bait too?
hey, could you give me a bit of info on those shrimp pots plse! how do they work and where can i get one?! - theres a lot of decent wrasse fishing up this way but i have never targeted them with shrimp, sounds like the job.
sorry for all the questions!!
great stuff
cheers
