Lure and Light Game: July 2015
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 July 2015. That's my kit accounted for and ready for packing. See you in a fortnight peeps ;). Tuesday, 14 July 2015. A Tidy Sunday Session. Sadly I haven't been up the peninsula much this year which has affected my fishing a fair bit, a road closure and lack of transport has confined me to local marks which I honestly find boring. The one good thing is that when I have been on the Llyn, I have had a bloody good time and yesterday was one such day. Tidy, blank averted! I fished a back eddie ar...

Lure and Light Game: July 2014
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 July 2014. Road Trippin' Day 4 - Weymouth. Originally we had wanted to fish Portland on our last day, but it became apparent that we were going to be pushed for time and we had a couple of species to get to make our target twenty. I must confess to really wanting to fish there too, as after all the small species I wanted to get a proper bend in my rod. We did head along and just take in the sites quickly, well after a quick visit to Chesil Bait and Tackle! In actual fact, over the course of t...

Lure and Light Game: October 2014
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 October 2014. Rockfish Menorca - Calescoves to Mahon. The last day of our Rockfishing trip and I was personally feeling good, I still wanted to catch a few more fish for sure but I was feeling more relaxed about the whole thing. We'd visited some stunning parts of the coast, caught a nice variety of fish and had some laughs along the way, but there was one place I wanted to at least see; Calescoves. I much preferred the Spanish joints. From Nelsons we headed Mahon way to fish Es Castell. At Es...

Lure and Light Game: August 2015
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 August 2015. I recently took possession of the new HTO Rock Rover which is a five piece light game pack rod, its 6'11 in length, rated 2-7g and comes with both a solid tip and a tubular tip. Well I was pretty excited about it and have been for some time so I decided to give it a whirl yesterday. I started using the tube tip and flung out a Bait Breath Moysa on a 2g Aquawave Jighead which casted admirably and took a small Pollock and a large Launce on my first two casts, lovely! After I had had...

Lure and Light Game: Rockfish Skiathos! Part 1
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2015/08/rockfish-skiathos-part-1.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Ok now that title is a bit misleading as this trip was not primarily a fishing trip at all, it was a family holiday/wedding trip, yet I could not resist taking some kit along for the odd session. I didn't hit it hard like I do when I am fishing abroad with Scott, in fact neither could I, both due to the busy schedule and family time which was awesome. The other facet was the heat, damn it was hot! My sessions mainly were on Agia Paraskevi beach and fishing west to Poros area.

Lure and Light Game: June 2015
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 8 June 2015. A Bass at Last! On the few occasions I have gotten out and targeted Bass this year I haven't had any success, I must confess to being very unmotivated where they are concerned. Sods law would have it though that yesterday I went out to try for Garfish and ended up with a Bass! I hooked another right after which was a better size but somehow it escaped with the rear hook of my Metalmaru! First time that has ever happened to me on any lure. Hopefully next time they'll be a bit bigger.

Lure and Light Game: Rockfish Skiathos! Part 2
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2015/08/rockfish-skiathos-part-2.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. A few outside influences aided toward the making of this report; people with experience of the area and a new found fishing buddy! Talking to Panos in the shop over the road from our hotel proved insightful, as he recommended fishing Koukounaries Marina at night and assured me big fish can be caught there, my friend Dimitrios. Myself and Stuart agreed to meet and fish early Sunday morning, (the day before the wedding) as it would be a day Stuart would be mostly sober. Anyhow we ...

Lure and Light Game: Rockfish Skiathos! Part 3
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2015/08/rockfish-skiathos-part-3.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. Tuesday morning saw me on the first day of out second week in Skiathos and still wanting some slightly larger fish, I didn't exactly want trophy fish, just something to take a little line at least. I started using my lighter set up a little more and to be honest I'd forgotten how much of a delight it was to use as I have been using the Breaden most of the time both in the UK and away. Quite a nice little bream! I think this one is a Giant Goby. Wednesday I had planned to meet St...

Lure and Light Game: December 2014
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 8 December 2014. Being a non-driver in the sticks of Snowdonia means that most of my connections with other anglers are largely formed online, mainly through various forums and Facebook. I have made some good friends through such sites too, but it is not on the value of social media I wish to write this post, I actually wish to write about a seemingly ever present issue relating to LRF in the UK. Light Rock Fishing, how do you define it? Light Rock Fishing is a term that open to interpretation".

Lure and Light Game: April 2014
https://lure-and-light-game.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 18 April 2014. I have had a few futile attempts at catching Bass and while I realise it is still early for them, I feel a bit like jacking it in already, its a very strange feeling to be honest. I did get a few hours light gaming in yesterday, I was fishing for mini species and for the most part used hooks no bigger than #10. Again I can see myself investing more time into my light game throughout 2014 and I am currently looking to upgrade some kit, there will be more on that at a later date.
