Early Doors West Cornwall 09-01-2012

Had one of those nights where 0300hrs was the time my body wanted to wake up ready to go. Not being able to sleep, and after early morning TV and YouTube vids, headed out for some fishing in the dark. Arrived at a familiar rocky mark, with the first signs of light starting to show. Bit of wind and swell, but the deep water was clear.

Started off with some small sub-7g plugs on the  Nories Seabass Program (5-12g) with 0.8PE Sunline Castaway on the Daiwa Certate 2506 reel. Very, vey slow retrieves, with an occasion jerk, Second cast in I found the Pollack, nothing big, but a welcome start;

As the dawn broke, headed off to another cove along the coast path, to revisit some thick kelp gullies that get exposed on the low tide, and where I have had some good scraps from the Wrasse before. Switching over to Texas rigged soft lures, with 4-5g weight, bounced the bottom in amongst the rock and weed. As the wind and chop was building, managed a couple of Wrasse, both fighting well for their size, one bolting for a rocky ledge, the other trying to bury himself into the kelp heads. Having learnt from previous sessions here, a tight drag helps stopping them finding the cover which is so abundant at this mark. Called it a day, and headed home to to the gym for another punishing session, so hopefully should be sleeping well tonight!
