Tide: Last two hours of coming tide approx
.(1.40-3.40)
Bait: Frozen Peeler Crab
Rigs: Cigar Float rig with 2/0 hook fished, Running ledger.
After a great evening on lacken strand yesterday, where I had PB flounder(happy out)fishing in comp woke up this morning to realise I defrosted by accident along with the other bait for the comp. Not wanting to dispose of good bait didnt want to throw it out so decided to head down to corraun and try for wrasse.
First off I trekked as far over the flat slopping rock as I could and fished half a peeler each rebait under a float on a 2/0 hook. Set the depth at the length of my rod,15ft. I worked it various distances into several deep gullies which ive had wrasse in the past. No joy. Not one bite on the float.
After a failed attempt fishing with float I moved back to the first ledge below memorial and fished off a narrow finger of rock. Looked promising. I set up a running ledger using a 2oz ball lead and 3ft length of 20lb flurocarbon and 2/0 Kamasan baitholder. Fishing a various distance right up to my feet where I also added the crushed claws and peeler crabs to try and attract anything that might be lurking.
Result: Complete blank.
I was fairly confident that some species would have gone for the peeler, especially ballan wrasse.
Maybe it's to early for wrasse yet?
