Photo's don't always record weather or sea conditions accurately.
Go find out.
Yes.
Colour is very important as is contrast imho. Water clarity etc also to varying degree's. Vibration is important. Ask anyone who fishes xlayers.
Photo's don't always record weather or sea conditions accurately.Has most of the successful Wrasse fishing taken place in very calm conditions so far? (from the photos it looks like it)
Go find out.Like bass, will we eventually end up looking for more turbulent water - or somewhere in between?
Yes.Any patterns showing over in Jersey?
Colour is very important as is contrast imho. Water clarity etc also to varying degree's. Vibration is important. Ask anyone who fishes xlayers.The sun has been said to make a difference, but what about the water? I'm assuming that they do in fact hunt by sight and sound and perhaps less on the vibration (or less importantly so) that bass do? So is more turbulent water (at least near the surface - blocking light) in fact less attractive to them?
I can relate to you on that one!!I'll get back to you in 5 years time about the rest. Fishing by myself I'll struggle to put enough hours in to properly figure it out - in amongst the bass and LRF.
Do it. Just do it. Honestly, You will learn more in a day here than a season running blind.planning a trip over there asap to catch up. Once I've caught a few hopefully I'll be able to bring some of my own thoughts to the table as well.
Your use of paddletailed smaller lures was unique here Jamo but Paul B has been playing as have I.have to say i struggle to catch wrasse over 2lb but still working and love putting in the hours as wrassing seems to be a game of wits.
yeh sounds right if you think about it, I just struggle to control myself.Do it. Just do it. Honestly, You will learn more in a day here than a season running blind.

I just think that you need to wait longer between making the lure vibrate and the results will follow on bigger fish.
Bass are no different in this respect. Bigger fish I think are generally more wary so waiting longer makes sense.
Only fools rush in.
Lol, sounds about right.Oh, and it's lack of friends Ben, nothing else.
New phrase like "All the gear, no idea" could be "All the gear but, no friends".
LOL
Why ?imagine Nathan LRF or wrasse hunting... I don't think so! Lol
