LRF fish-in

[Tony U]

I propose to hold an AN LRF fish in at Samphire Hoe on Sunday 13th September;

Samphire Hoe is off the Dover to Folkestone carriageway of the A20. You access Samphire Hoe through a traffic light controlled tunnel in the cliff. Samphire Hoe postcode: CT17 9FL and Samphire Hoe is signposted.

There is ample parking available at a reasonable £2.00 per day and an angling day ticket is £6.00 for the day

High tide is at 12:10 so meeting around 8:00 The park opens at 07:00, but you need to get there.

Expected species will be Wrasse (Ballans, Goldsinny and Corkwing), Pollack< Pouting, Blennies and Mackerel. If you have drop-shot gear it will be ideal I will have a couple of rods spare. The best lure to use id the Isome or Power Bait worms also ragworm works if you are desperate for a bite.

I fancy this!

Me too!

I was down at the Hoe on Saturday and did well on Isome worm catching Pouting, small Ballan Wrasse and three species of Blenny. A pity the Pollack didn't show up.

How do you fish the Isom worm? do you jig it like other soft plastics? any help appreciated as I am not a regular sea angler. thanks in advance.

I can do 13th Sept' also (at the moment).

 

Will need a new spinning rod, as a Haddock broke mine a couple of weeks ago.

[Tony U]

n4lly I will have a couple of spare LRF rods with me so this will not be a problem.

???????????????????

 

Never heard of a black blenny

 

Black goby , yes

 

Is "Black blenny" a local name ?

 

I was hoping you would answer Butterfly or Montagu's Blenny, either of which would be a new species for me.

Yes of course it was a Black Goby, locally wrongly called a Blenny, I have never even seen the Butterfly or Montagu's Blenny which I understand are very attractive little fish.
