    Wrasse fishing

    I've got a long weekend planned for the end of June. Looking to get some Wrasse fishing in, so has any one got any recommendations as to areas to try.
    Men are like fish, we only get into trouble when we open our mouth.

    Portland area may still have some bigger fish available, there also seems to be some good ones caught around cornwall coasts.

    we have some in north devon too but not sure if they are targeted here in any gret numbers.
    something good to die for to make it beautiful to live!!

    Thanks for the replies so far. I've been banned from the S West area as I'm heading down there in October. PB comes from Angelsey so it looks like a trip up that area.

    If you fancy a long trek snag why not try
    the St Davids area West Wales loads of
    marks all around that area.Not only wrasse
    but bass pollock garfish and mackerel as well
    Great fun on float gear
    A fisherman doesn't grow old. His tackle just wear's out !

    Porth Iago's an easy to reach rough-ground rock mark on the Lleyn with a few good-sized ballans and mackerel for the barbecue too

    Cheers - John
