No point using an unhooking mat, it would get wrecked by the gaff!!!

 

Glad you all enjoyed it. Just been out and got one from the kayak today, I think that may be a first nationally...Kayak-caught record?!

 

Now, speaking of rockpools...got a video up on my youtube channel of that - if you have the rest of your life spare I've got about 300 or so vids posted now, mostly kayak fishing but some boat, some jetski, some game fishing, commercial line fishing, drift netting etc. Here's the rockpooling one amnyway - not a UK one though.

 

 

oh, it got the maggot in its gob but the hook didn't penetrate - not enough resistance. I tell you, they'r enothing on gobies, those voracious little buggers are often deep hooked!

Wetter than an otter's pocket.

Good write-up Mark, it just goes to show you don't have to target huge boilie-gutted carp to have a great time :thumbs:

Brilliant write up, nice one :)

As famous fisherman John Gierach once said "I used to like fishing because I thought it had some larger significance. Now I like fishing because it's the one thing I can think of that probably doesn't."

When I was a kid, they seemed to be everywhere. The canal was full of them. They were the only life in the river. There was a little club pond where they drove you nuts - and if it wasn't the sticklebacks it was the newts! Sometimes if you hooked a worm in the middle you'd get a stickleback on each end.

 

They don't seem so common round here, I haven't seen one in years.
