Rock Fishing for Wrasse with Limpets, Spark Plugs, and Paper Clips

Shore fishing in the video below, and I fish a very rough ground rock mark for Wrasse using Limpets collected from the rocks as bait.


Because the ground is so rough, with the potential of many tackle losses, I use a very simple inexpensive setup with old spark plugs as the weight and paper clips as a rotten bottom weak link. Limpets are natural bait for Wrasse that they can pull of the rocks with their strong mouths and crunch up the shell with their strong teeth and for the angler they provide readily available free bait.

Gilthead Bream Fishing - First Fish of the Year - Tips for Beginners

Gilthead Bream are a great fish to fish for and catch and this year (2019), I decided to target them more.


In the video below, I head out on the kayak in early May for my first trip to see if I could catch one. I used Razor Clam (razor fish) as bait and the video contains tips for beginners. I talk about the rig and the Shimano Baitrunner reel I am using and pass on some information given to me by a very experienced Greek Gilthead Bream angler regarding the very interesting way Gilthead Bream feed, which goes a long way to help understand how to fish for them.
