wrasseman Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Since the trout season finished down here I've been having a shocker. Having to travel at least 80km round trips sucks when I can trout fish in season within 10min of home. Since I haven't had the time for a propper trip to the east or south coasts I've just been going as close to home as I can and have had little success, just small salmon and wrasse. This morning I headed up to the Tamar mouth hoping for a pre-work salmon sesh. No salmon but on my second cast my little spoon was inhaled and I scored a new PB wrasse of 45.5cm which put a hell of a bend in my little trout rod and tested the drag on my new 1000 ultegra at last. Great fun. cheers Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrasseman Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) well done! mind if i ask what rod u're using? looks cool. do u happen to have a pic of the spoon? i've been contemplating to try little light jigging off the rocks sometime, and wrasse do fight good! The rod is a 4'9" diawa heartland "trout" (HL T492ULFS) rated for 1-6lb line and up to 1/16-1/4oz weights. The spoon I was using was a wondercast tango like these, they are nominally 7g though in reality more like 6g. These are great little spinning/jigging lures for a wide range of species but the 3 inch gulp grub in pumpkinseed on a 1/16 or 1/8oz jig head is the best wrasse lure I've found. Cheers col.
