South West Plymouth

[KaiH]

2 hours in Plymouth this morning, hard going and didn't have a bite in Sutton harbour after the gobies.

Back at elphinstone carpark dropshot rig, two week old rag and straight into a scorpion fish. Had another smaller on baited sabikis and that was it. The second was really blue underneath but didn't get a picture.

At least another for the hunt

Nice one one Kai, a lovely ugly fish,??

 

[Tatunka joe]

Good effort bey ??

 

[Trampster]

Nice one Kai! Species hunt not my thing but well done anyway! I find it slightly amusing that whilst you headed down here, I was off in the opposite direction to Ashburton on another fishy related mission!

 

[Wolf]

Nice one mate well done ??

I've not really been into the species hunt in the past but it really does make you think more about what you are targeting and trying different tactics and bait etc.

True, but I've always been a Hunter Gatherer, and mainly fish > catch > eat!

Nothing to stop you eating what you catch on a species hunt as long as its in size. ?

Most of what I've seen posted wouldn't even make a Fish Finger! No interest in Tiddler Fiddlin'!

@KaiH is right, it makes think a lot more about the way you fish and gets you a way from the chuck it and chance it way.
Also 27 gobies lined up makes a bloody huge tasty sandwich

Good in sections/or chunks for rays . Half or whole is well known for bass to although I don't use them for that myself .

Well done on the scorps . Sutton was very slow Monday till it got dark, then stacks of goldsinny wrasse and pout started showing, then masses of herring . I left then, but did see a report from a local that fished late and was getting a fish a chuck he said.
