Wrasse - South West Wexford

[Teegerstk]

Hi lads can anyone show me where I can catch my first wrasse around SW Wexford (Hook Peninsula)?
Should I bottom fish, float or spin for them? Heard limpet and rag are good for float fishing!
Fish will be returned obviously.
Thanks lads!
PMs welcome

the simplest and best tactic on hook head is as follows.

tie a 1/0 on 25 lb line one foot about a small bomb lead and put a swivel above it.
Fish the rocks on a flooding tide and drop your baited hook into any gulley that is flooding.
Crab is best, lugworm works fine, rag will do extremely well. Small bits of limpet knocked off the rock works fine if you smear the guts on it. Tough as nails too.
Try to fish straight down. Avoid long casts, you really only need to be fishing under your feet.
You'll get a procession of bites once you find the right gulley...

Enjoy

use a size 1 or 1/0 hook with 2 split shots about 2 ft away cast it out as far as you can let it hit the bottom and retrive slowly you will also take some good pollock on this method

Thanks lads! Should I just fish the Hook or do the wrasse go further up by the peninsula (Fethard side I presume)?
