Had a session at a spot near me back home, SW Devon. Deep clear water, rock and kelp with some sandy patches. The area I was in has at least two wrecks, smashed up into the shallows, visible at low tide in the water. Large parts of the structure have been washed and pushed up onto the dry rock areas. All the gullies are strewn with rusting metal, with the rocks stained red from rust.
Fished as close to the structure as I dared, but as you can imagine, very snaggy. Deadsticking a 4" Senko, took a Pollack. Switched to a 3" paddle tail shad, and worked a slow retrieve, picking up a couple more Pollack, one which slid off the hook into the water as I landed it.
Switched back to another slim 4" Senko, and worked it in the deep rocky gullies near the wreck area. Felt a good tap, followed by connection and a fish on. Felt bigger than the Pollack, and without too much fight, landed a Wrasse, weighing in at 1lb13oz, and measuring 37cm.
No more fish, but a great session in a nice spot, lots of climbing and walking, but well worth it. Think I will be heading back there with the light gear, try for some Pollack on the small metals.
