LRF 14th July

Got out on thursday for some lrf ,
had plenty of fish with wrasse to 2.5lb , pollock to 2lb
and an almost limitless amount of blennies.
Have been playing around with some  lures
like berkeley gulp ragworm and lugworm the difference
it has made was very noticable to the point where i switched
to normal sps no bites switched back and got fish almost every
cast the strong smell from these lures seems to get the fish biting
although the blennies and pollock really seem to like these
particular lures had some wrasse on them aswell but not as
many as the others.
The biggest of the wrasse gave a good account of itself really
getting into the kelp and taking a good bit of persuasion
on the light gear to show itself





























The blennies really seem to be feeding hard lately they halved coutless lures 
with their nipping the biggest i've caught was about 8inches long and 
every size below that.
I tried for some lrf  bass no such luck so i switched over to the hrf rod 
with a surface lure just as evening came and had countless follows
and could see bass feeding on sandeel right at my feet so i guess they were 
just full up on them and just following topwater lures and sps out of 
curiousity . As soon as darkness hit so did the pollock 
and i must have 30 in about an hour or so

Anyway....
While i was fishing sitting on a rock having a smoke break on thursday 
next thing the search and rescue seaking helicopter was right above me and
blowing me all around with the down draft from the blades the size of these 
choppers is unreal they are massive.
I looked to see the search and rescue fella looking down at me thinking 
i was the one who needed help he was waving at me and doing allsorts of signals 
i just gave him a thumbs up and he realised i wasnt who they were looking for 
they swung away in the chopper and stopped just around the corner from me
i got up anyway and walked over to see what was going on there was a child 
after falling over the cliff and was sitting on a ledge about 30ft above me with a man
i'm not sure if the child was injured or not but they were both airlifted off the ledge
just goes to show how dangerous it can be walking and fishing around areas like 
these but i'm glad that the emergency services are quick to react to situations like these

tight lines
