Report:

October 11th

Headed out to my local mark to try a spot of spinning but when I arrived the sea was to rough but did find a sheltered place & try for Wrasse so baited up & dropped down along the rock edge & was in to a nice Ballan after a good scrap landed a nice fish just over the two pound mark which was followed by six more all around the same size & one better fish near the end which give a great account of itself,a fine coloured wrasse of 3.5 lb

November 2nd

Another short session not much about apart from a few Pollock best slightly over two pound & one lone Mackerel which tasted great

November 8th

Had a few hours to kill this morning so headed for a Wrasse session to see if I could coax one or two out of there rocky homes before they head off to the deeper water for the winter Hopes were low as they had gone by the end of October last year Baited up with usual good auld Limpet & missed a good fish on the first drop she got free at the surface but apart from two small ones after that it wasn’t looking good so I went for a walk to pass some time & wait for tide to fill a bit more before giving it one last go...after half an hour I went back & the wrasse were hitting the bait hard lost some great fish id say around the 5ish pound mark but did land one fine wrasse of 4lb... happy days

Nice going Fisherking, you seem to do well with the humble limpets as bait. I normally dig a few lug when targetting wrasse, my back would be annoyed if it ever finds out how effective the limpets are! The corkwing, has he been eating his own tail?

some crackers there too. and a few good pics
