The tide times looked good so i headed for Burntisland for another go at the wrasse . At lowtide i first dug some lug and even managed a few king rag. With the bait dug plus some prawn and of course the power-isome and gulp sandworms i set of for a bit dropshotting. At first bites were hard to come by the sea was a bit green looking for my liking and i wondered if the lack of clarity was a factor. Before long i hit into a wrasse but i just couldnt stop him and and he broke me, Think it was a good one .
A few nice ones followed though all the way up to high tide on small sections of lug and rag , the prawn only seemed to get the interest of the odd sea scorpion .
My wee shimano alivio reel is playing up a bit , so a new Aernos is in the post. On this occasion the goldsinnys didnt show, though they have on previous trips .
and there has been a oddity or two as well including this wee fellae which i think is a Yarrel's blenny?

DeleteYou know me too well Martin! :-D
DeleteWell done mate some nice wrasse there.
ReplyDeletethanks george , looking forward to another trip before winter gets its grip.
DeleteDon't know much about this fish, but looking at it it appears to be quite a fighter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan, they tend to head for snags as soonas there hooked so tends to be "hit and hold" tactics sometimes though they win.
DeleteA Yarrell's blenny eh? That's my fishing trip sorted for Wednesday. :-D
ReplyDeleteDown the inside of the harbour wall I take it?
Nice looking little drop net that too Col. Where can I get one? :-)
ReplyDeleteIn the inside right in the corner scott. That's a course net , I've got a 3 m handle to be honest a dropnet is going to have to be another purchase for myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Col! I will have a go tomorrow.
DeleteI've got a drop net but it's huge. Had a course fishing 4m net handle but broke it. They're just not designed for lifting fish up any kind of height. Any half decent fish thrashing will break them. I also found that even 4m wasn't long enough at times.
