Another first...

Went out today for some more wrasse but they weren't playing
ball no matter what I did. I suppose I spent an hour or so trying
so i decided to try out some of the tiny lrf lures I got from Andy
at jacks and went rockpooling instead saw plenty of little gobies
but none took they just played with it instead of eating it this went on for
a while and i tried several different pools and several different lures
the one that got the most interest was the ''mouse'' a little lure of under an inch
i tried this one pool and a much larger fish came out and stuck the lure and it turned
out to be a blenny/shanny i think (correct me if i'm wrong please) about 7 inches long
i lifted the fish went to unhook it and the little fish bit down on my hand and was actually
hanging from my hand by its jaws i should have really looked to if it had teeth which it did
more funny than sore to be honest but an aggressive little fella none the less any way it another
new species to go with the other firsts of yesterday.





















































 It was the only fish for the couple of hours i was out but i have to say the difference
the solpara has made to my fishing is vast two new species in two days.
I cant wait to see what other species i can catch.

Tight lines,


Jay

  1. Nice one Jay. Out of curiosity, have you seen that "Wild Fishing" where Henry goes to Norway where both him and Rob get wolf fish? If so, think on how those critters looked and then picture a ten to fifteen pound one of these. Similar, yes??
    Locally, we would call these things Eel pout, which is a member of the blenny family, used to get hundreds of them but only find the occasional one under rocks etc now.
