Fished the Fludyers pub area today, lovely weather got a little sunburnt to boot. Fishing rag on a bass rod close to sea defences, I had 2 small codling to 1lb and wait for it

I'll try to get the picture off my phone later, It was a green/brown fish at the 1lb mark, never caught one before so am unsure of species type.

Here it is

Bluddy 'ell a Wrasse! theres a turn up for the books.
Was it a ballan wrasse maybe?


Well done mate.

Them Wrasse sure are becoming more common around these parts, Saw 5 caught in one day on Southend pier last year, not heard of one from the beach though. Hopefully more will follow

Nice one steve.I have heard of one or two being caught up at Lowestoft in some rough grund and a couple caught at southwold harbour but there's the proof.Fish are obviously moving north with the warmer water!
If this is due to global warming "Bring it on"
Well done M8 I guess Its a first for you,but hopefully not your last!!!
