I was asked to put together a simple guide to Light Rock Fishing by Fishing Tails. You can the article below, hopefully it will be of use to anyone who is starting their Lerfing journey. https://www.fishingtails.co.uk/an-intro-to-lrf-light-rock-fishing/
LRF – The Fighting Whiting
There are few species that generate such derision and divides in the sea fishing community as the whiting. Many bait anglers see them as a pest, getting in the way of catching more prized species such as cod or bass. Other anglers are just pleased to catch in the bitter, most challenging months of the…
YouTube – How To Catch More Species On Lures In Winter
Sean at Fishing Tails has really got the LRF bug recently, something I have been all too happy to encourage. This month we put work in to get some decent footage in very chilly weather. What you see here is the result. The star of the show here being the marvellous wrasse I was lucky…
Review – Ecogear Aqua Lures
There was a time when Ecogear had their own UK team, importing all the LRF goodness we could ask for. For a multitude of reasons though, that team is no more so we have to reply on individual tackle shops and Ebay sellers to bring in these wonderful lures. I have reviewed the Marukyu Isome…
Rod Review – Majorcraft Solpara SPX-S732UL 0-5g
After reviewing the rather expensive (and gorgeous) Majorcraft N-One NSL-S662H, I’m bringing myself back down to earth with something far more accessible.

YouTube – How To Catch Flounder The Exciting Way
Sean McSeveney of http://www.fishingtails.co.uk has been a long time collaborator with me. It started off with some early articles for his website, which was a great boost for my fledgling blog back in 2016. I have recently been repaying the favour by helping with some YouTube videos. This is a brand new move for me,…
2020 Review – My Lure Caught Species (Saltwater)
This is my species list for the year of 2020. Did I beat my 2019 result of 31 species on artificial baits/lures?
LRF Basics – How To Tie A Dropshot Rig
The Dropshot Rig is one of the quintessential tools in the LRF angler’s armoury, using it to fish right under the rod tip and also searching clean ground. There’s a couple of ways to tie it, in the following post I will go through how I tie it. I have used 50lb braid in this…
Hookpoint – The LRF Flounder Calender
Here’s my most recent article for Hookpoint Magazine. This time I am talking (for a change!) about LRF flounder. See below the image for the link… https://hookpoint.co.uk/the-lrf-flounder-calendar/ Find more of my recent posts below:
