Light Rock Fishing - Brixham - Memorable May Species Session

This one is from a really memorable session I had last week down at Brixham. I'd met Dan (‪@FishingAroundBudleigh‬) down there in the hope of catching rock cook wrasse, which are around in decent numbers in the Torbay area and seemingly very aggressive at this time of year. We got our target, but I also managed to pick up some other special little species along with a few Brixham regulars to make it a session to rememember!
We could see lots of fish but they were surprisingly picky, so we had to work hard for our fish. I had most success with a 1.5g cheb rig and brown mini isome, a dding a tanago stinger to get my rock cooks!
Dont forget we've got the Big Lerf Fundraiser event in Plymouth in July, would be great to see some of you there! Check out the link below for more info :)

Watching your videos got me and my dad into lrf fishing and my gosh what a fun way of fishing , I love that there's so many species to catch down in brixham and it's fun to fight the larger fish on such a small light rod

[@FishingAroundBudleigh]

So Good! Been waiting for this since that day! Amazing fishing! Masterclass!!

[@karlstokes874]

Aren't those rock cooks beautiful!

[@iveywebb44]

Amazing video. Really nice filming of the fish and so many species!

[@damianowens5066]

Smashed it mate! Cracking session and some real little beauties there! I think I would be using one of my inexpensive rock fish rods under there not your not so inexpensive Japanese jobby!!! 😂🤣

[@charliesebbage9401]

Raised the bar with this video mate!

[@neilsutherland7383]

Always a pleasure to watch mate. Looks like an excellent spot there!

[@alanfielding3491]

Cracking selection of fish. Great fishing and thanks for putting up the video 👍

[@alanevans4232]

Thanks Rich, crackin' good session, love the underwater from FAB.

[@ianfirkins6460]

Fantastic! That pier has become a real mini-species magnet. Several there on my hit list. Feel a road trip coming on! Cheers 😁

[@sme70]

Nice fishing 🎣👍

[@stephenmoss4880]

What an amazing stealthy fishing session, didn’t look like there was much room under that structure, very skilful fishing, those Blue wrasse are beautiful !

[@bobbananas289]

Thats some awesome fishing there, with some stunning fish, well well done and great video

[@kennethgrindrod6438]

Nice one again cheers

[@leightoncampbell8233]

I've been there a few times over the last 3 years and i fish just before that spot near the steps and I fish just off the wall as the tide goes out and there's always some decent 2-4lb wrasse and strap conger to be caught down there

[@richardhoward1200]

Awesome vid! Some very cool fish there. I'm on holiday in Weymouth this weekend and will have some time to fish - any tips on marks and lures? Would love to catch my first wrasse or bass or pollock (or anything really!). Cheers!

[@brianwalton3016]

are you nipping the barb down on the decoy hooks.?

[@I.have.an.std.]

Well done mate! I definitely need to dust off my LRF kit again and head out there again soon it been nearly 3 months since my last saltwater LRF trip🫣😅 looks like the fishing starting to pick up again now
