A fish at last

Postby pros » 25 Jun 2014, 20:34

After my almost fishless trip to Cornwall I have just managed to break my duck in Devon.
I have been fishing Berry head, the locals assure me there are thornback about. With 100 feet depth and strong tide run this place is a real challenge. 4sessions and many lost rigs resulted in blank.Image

This is the road down.Image
This is one of the various ledges, what you can't see is that all the ledges are covered with about 4feet of rubbish.
I have admitted defeat for now and opted to fish the local harbour breakwater, float fished ragworm and bingoImage
A decent wrasse, it was almost a bite every cast but difficult to hit, subsequently proved to be 3 inch wrasse.

I went to Cornwall for over 10yrs and I always found it a tough place to find the fish apart from Mackerel, wrasse & pollack. I was always after a bass or a ray too.....and I invariably blanked! :doh: local knowledge is king down there I think, it's tough just going for a few days and trying to fit a few sessions in around the family hols,

Good effort :gp:
