mike farrants Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 13th July I had the day off so I dusted down the kayak for the first time this year and had a mooch about portland harbour - nothing doing, so in the evening i went to stone pier with the float rod for mackies or Gar - nothing there either I had a small spinning rod for a bit of fun close in - target was wrasse or pout to save the blank - what I pulled in was a total shock - felt like dead weight - I assumed spider crab...... it was an in size lobster, caught on a manky mackerel strip on a ledgered size 6 hook........ 10 yards out from the pier over clean ground.......

Andy135 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Result! What an unexpected catch. Stick it in the PB section! Did he make a one way trip to a warm bath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
