New species.

I went to Rhu, near Helensburgh on Sunday morning with a couple of Friends, we had 6 rods out between thye three of us and never got one fish, rags was bait. as we still had plenty of ragworm left, 2 of us headed to greenock the next morning, we caught about a dozen cod 3 wrasse and a Goldsinny wrasse, which is a new species for me and takes me one over last years total of species and we still have all winter to go.

River Clyde at Clydebank.

Stayed local to get a few hours fishing in on sat afternoon at the new college in clydebank. used mackerel and rag as bait. I caught 9 flounders, I spinned a bit to try for any passing predetor fish but no joy.

Wrasse at last.

went to Greenock targeting wrasse again. Received a phone call just as I got there meaning I couldn't make a day out of it as planned so decided to stay for a couple of hours instead of leaving straight away. I was using rag worm on size 4 baitholders and got my first wrasse after five minutes, these fish give some fight but can die if over fought so try to get them in pretty quickly. A very nice Balan wrasse at 2lb 5oz. I got another 3 good sized wrasse, 2 at 1lb 6oz and 1 at 1lb 8oz. also caught two of my biggest cod so far at 1lb 8oz and 1lb 6oz, and a little pollock too.
