Maybe its a bit early to put this one out there, with techniques only just being tried and tested but there are enough people trying for the lighter/smaller stuff now that I just thought I'd ask to see what your theories or thoughts were on the impending Spring season. ...
What are your plans with regards to Light Rock Fishing as the water begins to warm? Assuming everyone carries on trying the lighter stuff, do you think that the tiny (30mm) baits will continue to outscore bigger baits, or do you think the larger baits (90mm) will come in to their own as the amount of life in the water grows? Will bigger meals become more appealing (to smaller species) as the amount of available food grows?
Do you think that the fish will stay where they are (especially in the harbour) or do you think they will be more willing to explore the deeper, shallower, rougher or more open ground? Or will things stay just the same as they are, but with an increased number of fish around (all over the place).
Will it be necessary to fish after dark as the water warms, or as previously discussed, would it be just as possible to catch them in daylight all year round (including now) once we have the depths and techniques more honed?
Do you think that bass will become a 'problem' by snapping up smaller lures intended for other species? (playing them will certainly be fun!)
Obviously there are no real answers to the above until we really work it out, but just out of interest, what are you guys expecting or hoping UK LRF will develop in to during Spring as the water warms?
