Wrasse paradise


Finally get a few days out on the rocks, hunting for some "gold fish". I personally love fishing for wrasse, they are pretty powerfull species. Manage to fish for them a good few time since last year and have to say i have surprise every time end of my line. From the bite witch could take the rod out of your hands if you lame , actually never can tell the size what you hook. Even the small ones provide exellent fight on light gear, and the variation of colours is magnificent, every single one of them has different pattern and beautiful shades of colours.


The feeding habit of wrasse could be very tricky and operated on tide levels and weather conditions. Well the "fight with the elements" never been new for fisherman any way. But once they switch on the feed we manage double hook ups on the session, right place right time. The interesting thing was that we fished around the spot for 4-6 hrs before they decided to feed and before that manage a few fish but they where very picky abaut lures and presentation etc, by that time the tide turns low to high and the sky gets cloudy a bit, booom with those conditions we have non stop blend on the rods.


Awsome ground to try soft plastic lure technics.Because they could be pickey most the time, could be usefull if you target a few colour and shape variations under your slave. Can try different rigs, the presentation also important for them, they are not predators but somehow the Fiiish Black Minnow is savage for them, witch completly fish shape imitation they still take a bite. Also used with very much succes soft plastic worms, senkos, and crab imitations rigged on texas,carolina or jika rigs.

Well at the end i spend a really awsome few days on the rocks of Atlantic, learn a bit more how the sea and the conditions could effect the fish feeding habit, and experience a hudge variety of technics and lure choices, styles. One step closer to read the sea :)
