Report:
Earlier this year I decided to give LRF a go; something to do while waiting for a bite on the bait rods. First cast with a small jighead and Power Isome worm and I connected with a 34cm Pollack! Just in case this was a fluke, I kept at it and landed a total of 12 Pollack ranging from a mere 11cm to 46cm which really put a bend in the rod. I also had plenty of "attacks" almost at my feet but I think the fish saw me at the last minute. Strips of mackerel also worked as did real lug. Two goldsinny wrasse and two small poor cod completed the tally. I was a bit surprised not to get any ballan wrasse from this spot which last year produced my p.b. I can't wait to get stuck into a decent ballan. There's something very satisfying about seeing a bend in the rod even if it is just a tiddler, I'll definitely be trying this again. I was initially a bit dubious about the Power Isome worms but have to concede that after handling them, the scent from my hands was not at all unpleasant, if ever I run out of sambos and coffee I might just try ..... well maybe not.
