Goby Slaying – My Guide

Goby slayer nounNot to be confused with insanity (or anyone with murderous intentions), someone who enjoys targeting gobies. Fashionable fish they are not, the majority of them are tiny and go unnoticed… Gobies aren’t top of most angler’s wish-lists; to the species hunter though, they are a goldmine. If, like me, you enjoy geeking out…

LRF IS BACK!

We did it! We sold every single ticket for The Big Lerfin’ Fundraiser (details here), which means on the 3rd July there will be 70 Lerfers descending on Weymouth to chat, catch lots of species and compete for prizes. It got me thinking that LRF may be having another renaissance, so I wanted to delve…
