No flavoured lures were harmed in the making of this blog. You may have noticed a distinct lack of fake baits on the blog recently. I have been telling myself that once I hit 50 lure species I would ease up highlighting Isome catches, unless they were really special. Because after all, how many more Isome posts does this blog need?! If you want to learn the basics and get instant bites with Isome and Gulp then there are literally hundreds of posts on this website to motivate you and find fun fishing.
With just a bag of plastics, jig heads and metals I started off in Old Portsmouth. It was far from an easy day to be fishing ultralight but I kept grinding away and converting the bites best I could. Best of all, I had caught a respectable 9 species on soft-plastic lures and metals. Most of the day I managed to fish with jig heads of a gram or less.
When the wind was blowing its hardest I had to increase to 1. In fact it was a metal that found the Lesser Weever, casting from the shore. Probably the most unusual fish of the day. They are available in a great range of colours to suit water clarity and different prey items.
Then in the evening, as darkness came and thankfully the wind eased, I switched over to full Ajing mode with sub-gram Aji-style jig heads and 2-inch plastics from Reins. The Scad was mostly what I had hoped to catch, so I was really pleased.
I wish I lived closer to repeat this kind of fishing more often. Adam Kirby August , Gallery 9 ajing , gosport , Mackerel , millennium pier , old portsmouth , portsmouth , Scad. Paul edward 9th August, am. Adam Kirby 10th August, am. I think your case is almost the perfect example Paul.
