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.

but bass pollock garfish and mackerel as well

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
