South West Brixham again today

[bananas]

We went over to Brixham again to day, but didn't have very long there as she was walking the dog while I had a little dangle. Started off close in, as was fun watching some small Pouting attack the bait in gin clear water, then a better sized one came along, chased all the small ones away before having a go at my bait, bang, silly fish was out and in my hand, lol.
Had quite a few small pout out after that, before a small whitish fish came out, thought it was a Goldsinny at first, till I looked at it closely when unhooking, blow me was a small Cuckoo Wrasse, an new one for the hunts, allowed my self a small shriek of delight before a few pics and plopping him back.
Few more small Pouting and a couple of Corkwings was landed, before I could see the other half walking towards me so guessed it was time to pack up, as usual the weather men got it wrong, forecast for rain at 1pm, blazing sun is what we had, nearly cooked the dog on the way back to the car.

Nice little report Bob and I'm glad you had some nice fish & some good weather! I'd planned to potter in the garden here this afternoon but by 12.30 it was coming down Cats & Dogs, and didn't clear away until 6.30pm. Not getting garden power tools out at that time of day!

Few and far between, but great when one comes out, they can keep in small areas near to their nest so i understand, just need to find that, but this one was a juvenile, so probably out on the razz. Never had a male yet so not sure where they hide.

Always thought cuckoo were more of a boat fish and unlikeky to get one from shore so well done you.

Wrasse arent a species I get to target that often, not a common catch along the bexhill/Hastings beaches!

The females tend to get caught more from the shore, had a few over the years mostly from the breakwater.
