thejollysinker Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 In an effort to get some rod hours in after shortening our holiday I nipped down to Babbbacombe pier with my mate Aaron for a couple of hours (can’t say I’d go there again but never say never 😅). I caught the smallest mackerel I’ve ever seen with my spinning gear so decided to get the lrf gear going. Simple dropshot setup with a size 10 carp hook resulted in loads of micro pout, a tompot blenny and a long spined sea scorpion. Aaron caught a small Huss. I went to Cogden next day only to be confronted with a massive swell so got the big guns out and fished hard all day for a bass and a cod. The pout showed up in numbers as did the poor cod. I also got a small strap, two bass (under size) and a flukey flounder on a 4/0 😅 something decent hit that poor cod at the wrong end unfortunately 😕 and I also lost a good fish just before dark, damn 😩 that spurred me to stay on until 11pm but strangely it literally just went dead 🤷♂️ Never mind, in the space of 24hrs I’d added 6 new species for our ‘group’ hunt so was happy with that 😊 daio web, Hoop, Andy135 and 1 other 4 Quote

Andy135 Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 Top dangling, and a good mix of fish. The small stuff is always interesting to see. Well done 👍 thejollysinker 1 Quote

Thin strips of squid, seems to work for a lot of the small stuff although I do like using rag too when I have it 👍 Quote
Saintly Fish Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 I do like the way you used your panoramic lens to take the tall picture of all the fish stacked up! thejollysinker 1 Quote
